    I have done limited advertising, some news papers or local magazines
    with introductions in to new markets one city at a time, lots of
    business cards and giving a few pieces away to models. I advertise
    in my local area, I advertise on occasion in Montreal, where my
    other home is. 

    This is my tenth year in business and last year D & B showed that we
    did $293,000 in the U.S. Our total business was over $500,000 world
    wide last year. 

    When I am out and about, I give away lots of business cards, many
    times I have trinkets in my pocket, if somebody does something nice
    for me, they get one. If some body asks what I do, I give them a
    card and if they say wow or awesome, I give them a trinket. The few
    times that I am at a bar, I give away cards, the young ladies who
    work at the libraries always get a card from me. You know the
    librarians buy a lot of nice jewelry from me, the ones at the bar
    generally don't buy anything. 

    Because a piece of my work is on my card, I can hold it up besides a
    lady's face and say you would look really wonderful with this on. 

Your best sales person is yourself.
