QuestionHow should I attract customers? Can I diversify or do I have to stick to only bracelets?Community AnswerA great way to attract traffic is to make flyers and hand them out locally. Pin them around places where you think a lot of people might see them, like a grocery store or a community center. No, it's reasonable to include other similar items in your inventory.
