Hi Guys,

How is everyone finding business after Christmas? Busy? Quiet?

What are your plans for 2017 to increase your customer base? What works best for you? Leaflets? Word of mouth? Van wraps? Local ads?

It's great to share this information for the value of all.

Had a decent start to the year with a nice chunk of repeat work called in this past few days. I'm all about Google ads to top up my schedule. They've never let me down before and always deliver   ;D

That's great that you guys are having good Januarys.....Is there anything different you're thinking of trying this year to increase your business? Such as new marketing ideas? Add ons?

Google ads seems to work really well for many, it's just about getting the right formula for you with a steady stream of quality visitors over quantity.

When you say a mail shot Edward, is this via the post? email? SMS? I read an article recently that explained how many companies are reverting to postal mail as a marketing exercise as many don't do this anymore. If you think about it, how many emails have you had over the past week compared to letters selling to you?
