1. Involve Your Customers In The Process

This makes her followers feel heard and appreciated by showing these behind the scenes in her pottery

2. Build Hype Through Social Media

When Teri is ready to start Pre-Order process she will use her instagram to build hype for weeks and it can be as simple as just posting a few pictures of her work and saying on This date I am launching a pre-order sale for mugs and tumblers and she will keep reminding people that this happening especially the week leading up the date of the pre-order and she limits the amount pre-orders she does at time to build more hype and build that fear of missing out. Being open about everything that is happening in your sale
