Where Do You Sell Santa Claus Letters?

Congratulations! You’ve decided to start a Santa Letter Business. You’ve got your kit, ink, stationery and some little goodies for the envelopes.

You’re ready to start processing orders. But, before you settle down and rest, you still have some marketing to do. Even though there is a huge demand for Santa Letters this time of year, you still have to make it easy for people to find you – and get a buzz about your service.

You have three basic options for selling your letters.

Sell them on auction sites like eBay
Why not? This time of year everyone is shopping at eBay. Not only that, but they are searching for keywords like “Santa” and “Christmas” so your letter service stands a good chance of getting exposure. Of course, you’ll want to position yourself to get as many visitors as possible to your auction. You’ll also want to encourage referrals to increase sales.

Create a website where you can sell your letters year-round
This is, of course, another option for selling your Santa Letters. If this is too intimidating to you, there are easy site builder options that you can utilize that make creating a website as easy as creating a Word Document.

Sell the Letters offline via Order Forms
This is a great alternative to creating a website. Create order forms and deliver them to local preschools and daycares. If you’re business-savvy you may even consider running your offer as a fundraiser to encourage the preschools to recommend the Santa Letters even more.

Each of these methods has benefits, and they don’t have to be mutually exclusive. You can do all three – set up an online store, sell on eBay, and do a fundraiser at your child’s school by sending home order forms! Why not? Have a wonderful, and profitable Holiday Season!

Make A child smile for Christmas

So many moms I know are looking for a way to make extra money. But they also don't want to overcommit themselves to some sort of full-time position or even a business that will force them to work 80 hours a week.

I think one of the coolest businesses I've seen that can really give a mom a jump start to making some extra money is starting a Santa Letter Business.

It's basically an online business that, for a fee, allows people to order Letters From Santa for their kids. The business owner creates the letter based on a questionnaire, throws in some special extras and mails the letter to the child.

Even though it's a business that is focused on Christmas, it's also a business that can be expanded to other times of the year and childhood milestones, like Birthdays, losing teeth, new baby, etc.

The gals at Just Add Sweat just released a complete 'how-to' guide to starting a Santa Letter Business and for the $20 that they charge for it, it's a neat way to dip your toe in the swimming pool of online business. They offer a guarantee so it's a pretty good deal.

I know my kids would love a personalized letter from Santa so I may just get the guide to have the complete set of letter templates at my disposal.
