Successfully marketing the business can be accomplished in many ways, including the following:
• Building alliances and joint ventures with interior decorators for referrals to your business
• Selling the furniture covers and taking orders for custom-made furniture covers at craft and home and garden trade shows
• Advertising for business in traditional print media and on the internet
