| Actually it may not come as a surprise but marketing is a big obsticle for me as well. I know quite a few people in the same feild here in Australia and there are very few that can actually tell you what works, They all seem to have tried everything and all say Word of Mouth is the only way they get business.
I am planning to try some Direct Mail though and see what sort of results this gives, it is definatly tough getting a client and keeping them though. IT just seems to be that sort of industry that doesnt have loyal customers they are always out to find a couple of dollers off. But in the long run if you provide good service and quality, then many of the clients shoudl return wehnt hey relise cheaper means lower quality. |
