BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Spinning Handy spinning gadget

I have found a handy gadget that holds the spun strand, while you stop spinning for whatever reason, transport or tea break. I don't know how to market it. The magazine advertising rates are huge. I tried that way already. I love mine. Want others to be able to enjoy using them. How can I reach the spinning world with this product at an affordable rate. There is no way that I could even afford to rent a booth at a spinners fair locally. Those cost 250.00, the magazine add was 450.00. Classified add was 50.00. Have only sold 8 of them that way. There has to be a way to find somewhere on the net to tell spinners about this wonderful addition to their wheel and keep my price down to 10.00 each. I really want other spinners to be able to enjoy them, not make money with it, only cover my costs of them a bit.

hi Zarina's mum, How about a shop on Etsy or Ebay? Its how many of us market our stuff. I've been doing it for several years. Listing is cheap compared to having to pay advertisements. Contact me off forum if you want a bit more info about setting up etc, as I sell spinning tools around the world. Cheers, Caroline in Adelaide, South Australia

Hi, Zarina's mum!! please send me the details of your gadget and we will see if it can be advertised on the bottom banner panel of this site! BellaOnline allows banner advertising of things we believe in and are reputable.

Might also try sending out ads to spiners guilds. you can find the listings in mag. like 'Spin Off'.

Her veracity may be in question as she has not replied to my post to her. Unless of course her computer has crashed. In either case we will give her another little while to get back with us.
