Post by: Kwackers on February 28, 2011, 12:07:12 am
I know most people will say canvassing...but what else works? Leafleting worked for me in the past but there must be more ways that work!!! What About commercials?

why not have a good think and see what you come up with

failing that you could always read the back posts on here where you will find all the ways of getting customers


how about wearing a sandwich board with you services on it and stand in your town centre for a few days ?

I'm reading through the posts and have thought myself, but interested to know what people do/find works hence the post.

Depends on what side of your industry that you want to build.  Commercial = phone call, you have to get in front of the decision maker, they know you are coming they have set time aside for that appointment.  I cant comment on dropping leaflets in, personally I would have thought letters would not be the way to go, you need the attention of the buyer.  He takes time out of his schedule because he knows you are coming - like in any buying process.

Dropping leaflets or cards, I dont think works - who knows where they get filed?

If you feel ok on the phone and buy some data or target who you quite fancy having as a client, thats all it is really OP

Wish you luck

Hope that helps
