How to Make Money Selling Bumper Stickers

1. Make sure that your bumper stickers are priced right. You have entered a market that is certainly not lacking for competition. You can find bumper stickers in thousands of stores, not to mention websites all over the Internet. In fact, there are over 15 million entries when you type 'bumper stickers' into your favorite search engine. Check and see what your competition is charging, and find a way to make your prices competitive.
2. Set yourself apart from your competition by making sure your bumper stickers are timely. For example, Zazzle.com launched a website to sell humorous bumper stickers when the US Congress was debating a huge bailout for the country. Demand for those bumper stickers was so great, that the company could not keep up with the orders. See that website by going to the address located below.

3. Promise fast service, then deliver it. You can set yourself apart from competition by making sure orders are sent out within 24 hours of their receipt. Many companies that sell bumper stickers tell their customer that their orders will be received within 6 to 8 weeks. You can expect customers to return if you deliver really good service.
4. Do special orders. You may have great ideas, but you don't have a corner on the market -- your customers will have great ideas as well. Offer to make custom stickers using a variety of sizes, shapes, background colors, paper stock and quantities. It will help you stand out from competition, and you can charge more for this than if you simply send them premade stickers.
5. Create a productive website that breaks through the clutter. The trick is to position your website so it comes up more often on the search engines than your competition. If you can afford to engage a company that is into search engine optimization (SEO) to improve the copy on your website, it will pay huge dividends. In addition, you can add to your website's traffic by using Google's AdWord and AdSense programs. Go to the Google website whose address is shown at the bottom of this piece.
