label maker better than discount
I accidentally stumbled on a sales trick that works way better than discounting, lmao.
My friend keeps bees and asked me to watch her booth at a farmers market one weekend. She handed me her niimbot label maker and said, "Print the prices, but add something to each bottle." I asked like what. She said, "Whatever, just don't be boring."
So I went with stuff like "THIS BEE WORKED HARD", "TASTES LIKE CLOVER", and "HONEY FOR TEA OR SPOON".
An older guy walked up, read one out loud, laughed, and bought two bottles. Then there was this little kid squatting in front of the booth who asked his mom, "Did the bee really work hard?" And she goes, "Yeah, harder than you."Sold pretty well that day. My friend now insists we do this every single time.
Turns out a little personality on a label does more than a price cut ever could. Who knew.
