First, I have a website where I promote natural products. I've been looking for natural items for pets. Please look at www.LiveGreenOnTheNet.com I would like to talk to you about promoting your product on my site.
Also, network marketing is a good way, but it takes time. I can also offer places to get information on this type of direct marketing approach.
Please contact me directly at rose_schaefer@yahoo.com
Thanks and good luck!!

Subject: [entrepreneurs] Help on how to jump start my All Organic Dog Treats
Hello,
My name is Marilou and I bake homemade all organic dog biscuits. I
use only four ingredients: organic whole wheat flour, organic
unrefined virgin coconut oil, organic oats and organic chicken
broth. My selling point is the unrefined virgin coconut oil which
has a lot of health benefits for the dogs. The treats are somewhat
part supplement because unrefined virgin coconut oil actually helps
pets and humans lose weight. It's very waist friendly.
I started selling at the Farmers Market but the foot traffic is so
low. I think it's because the market actually has only 2 farmers as
vendors and the rest are selling other stuff like cookies, olive
oil, candles etc. I asked the shelters if I can be a vendor to one
of their events but they want 100% proceeds of the sales. I am
willing to give 50% so I can at least cover my cost but they are not
interested. I thought about selling to boutiques but I don't know
how to go about approaching them. Also, when I did my cost analysis,
I realize it's very expensive to bake my cookies (coconut oils is
$30 for 54oz) because If I sell on the web, I wouldn't be able to
fulfill the orders since I am a small time operator for now.
I was thinking about selling my treats like the Avon or Mary Kay
style approach but how do I find the right people?
I am completely a mess. I don't want to go back to work in the
office any more. I have 4 months to jump start this business or I
have to find a full time employment somewhere else.
Ok, enough said. Thanking all of you guys in advance for your
advice and support.
