Trying to Generate Business

I recently ordered business cards and I have been to scared to do anything with them. Every time I am out and see a baby I think, man I should go up to them just say hi and give them my business card, maybe start small talk. When I was a waitress I was so good at starting small talk. I don't know what I have been scared of.


Well today I decided to go door to door and give them out. Sounds extreme but hey I thought that it might be good for people to get to see the items in person. First door the girl was so nice. She said that my stuff was cute and that she would give my card to her friend that is pregnant. First down not so bad, even though my voice was shaky. Second door, older man answers. I start with my spiel about how I just opened an online baby shop and gave him my business card. He replies I don't have any babys, me- grandkids? Yes he does. Well I walk away and hear the people inside laughing. So second door=flop. Couple doors down I find the nicest lady. She said that it was a great way to get my name out there and good luck. She also asked me if I went to a certain house because they had just had a baby. How sweet giving me a heads up. The last house that I went to had a baby outside and little kids riding their skateboards. I talked to the mom and as I was leaving one of the little boys gets my attention and goes, just a heads up the next two houses don't have babies. Why can't all people be that nice?


Well I didn't go to as many houses I should have, but it is really hot outside and I have some cleaning to do. Hopefully something comes out of my efforts.


Today might have been a little stressful but tomorrow will be better. I'm going to go to the beach and take pictures of the crib mobile I made. I cannot wait. It is sooo cute. Hopefully the wind isn't blowing to much and I can get some good pictures. Plus I will make any reason to go to the beach.

Hope everyone is having a great day. Would love comments, advise or just any thoughts you might have!
