I have tried "object marketing", direct mail, post cards, sales letters, doing the drip technique, only recieved one response. I tried newspaper ads, but they are so expensive that I only do them periodically. Did a radio spot, got one client from that, but it is also expensive.
I do network alot, but in my area, it's been hard to get people to think outside the box, when it comes to outsourcing!
I've been working hard on an upcoming Tradeshow that I'm exibiting at, April 30/May 1. I feel this is my big shot to make an impression on potential clients! I'm very excited!
What would be your advise to me as a Small Business owner to attract more clients, especially retainer ones? And do you have any advise on the upcoming Tradeshow? (Limited Budget).
I realise these are broad questions, but any help would be greatly appreciated!
