Open a physical location. If you would rather deal with customers directly than online, rent a spot somewhere. An inexpensive option would be a local flea market. You’d be surprised how many people go to flea markets, so don’t discount this option. For a more upscale location, rent a shop in town. This will definitely cost more so keep that in mind.

Place an ad in the newspaper. A small ad in a local newspaper doesn’t cost much. Acquiring a hand full of customers will more than pay for the ad itself.

Give the potential customer all the information they need to contact you. Make your incense sound attractive. Tell about the different scents available and offer suggestions for use.
