I am at a loss as to how/where to promote my home based cookie business. I have a home processor exemption permit with the NY State Dept. of Agriculture to sell from my home. I also have a website and a Facebook page for my cookies. I recently decided to try the Facebook Marketplace and advertised locally. I had so many compliments ( and 1 mean person ) and all in all while it boosted my confidence it was mostly a waste of time. I offered two different sets of Christmas cookies, each set contained one dozen, and noted the price and that cookies must be paid in full at the time of ordering via PayPal. So many people messaged me to express which set they wanted...yet only 2 people paid. Two others said their PayPal wasn’t working (?? ) and asked if they could pay cash. A few days later I messaged the others to confirm that they still wanted to order as I had not received their payment...no response. Saturday I messaged again to see if they were still interested and gave them until Sunday ( yesterday ) to confirm...and nobody responded. I had hoped this would have brought me some more customers but I’m very disappointed. Does anyone have any advice for me? These are the sets I offered:
