Use Mail Order For Antiques

Yes, small items or whatever can be shipped and will be wanted by antique collectors who cannot get them locally. Look through home decorating periodicals in your library. Ask to act as an agent for some large wholesalers who advertise in these pages. Many will even give you catalogues and order blanks with space for your rubber stamp imprint. Find customers through small ads in your local paper. Start out by offering one antique item that is drop shipped. That is, you take the order, send your label to the manufacturer who ships it directly to the customer.

Cosmetics

COSMETICS. Yes, women can buy cosmetics at any store but there is a feeling of being something special if they can buy a private label brand through the mails. Try a mailing for a shampoo, face cream, beauty product and emphasize that this special private label brand is not available in stores but only to those who receive "this letter." This offers a special appeal and will bring you many orders. Increase your business by eventually offering complete beauty kits created for special skin types and requirements. Again, when sending out any product, include a list or catalogue of other items offered, plus an order blank.
