Marketing your home based business: They key to success of any business is the ability to operate at a profit, manage cash flow, and attract new customers. Advertisting and marketing your home based business can be done several ways.
- Word of mouth, do a good job at your business and you will get referrals
- Networking: Make sure you tell everyone you meet about your new business. Be careful not to brow beat them about it but a 1 minute conversation on the topic is fine. I always tend to inform them about my business and I ask them to let me know if someone they know might need my services.
- Business cards, make sure you have a nice business card, I ordered mine on line and they are really nice and were only $.18 a piece. If you give your business card to someone they may never use your services but they may in turn give that card to someone else.
- Traditional advertising can be expensive for a new business and may not make sense
