How do I get people to contact me in regards to my business.?

Hi,

In response response to your questions . . .

Okay, you are providing a service. But you did not specify where your targeted market will be. Is your customer-base being targeted locally or worldwide.

The problem that most people have is they start with a product or service first without testing the market. If your service is selling then you know why. 1) May be you service is not in DEMAND, or 2) You simply have not targeted your niche market--a smaller customer-base without different marketing needs that well established businesses are not addresssing.

You are very young and that could pose a problem for you. Because people could have a tendacy to think you are not seasoned enough.

Hint: Don't think of a large customer-base; narrow it down and define your service thoroughly and your customer. What can you do that's different from your competitors 1) Know who are your competitors. What services they provide or don't. What are people asking and receiving or not receiving. This may require a consumer survey in order for to identify what are the customers needs. Perhaps will find the answer on the Internet.

Remember! Its not about you or your service. Its always what the customer wants. How will your service help resolve the customers' problem? How will your service help them to feel better? How will it benefit the customert? I'm sure you can take it from here.

You may have to consider doing some pro-bono work in order to gain word-of-mouth advertising. So be creative in your thinking. You have to think outside the box. Find your niche--the smaller customer-base . For example, maybe a small business is starting up and can't afford to pay the going rates. Maybe you could specialize in start-ups. If you were to lower your costs while telling people how they will benefit, you may find some interest in your service.

Once again, you did not specified Internet Marketing which is an area you need and must research and learn. You need to research different sources of advertising such as a national newspaper web site, related magazines, etc. Think about some freelance work or part time job that's related to marketing. And I certainly hope you have a degree in marketing or all of this information I'm giving you goes right out the door.

If you come to a dead-end and decide this is not for you, here's my gift to you. You should consider this as an opportunity to make alot of money. And it still relates to marketing.

Take care and Good Luck..

Have you tried those brochure boothes? They can be found on restaurants, stores, chamber of commerce. I know in New England they charge you after the season ends. so you can print some brochures up, wait until the summer ends and then get the bill. or maybe you cna talk to some travel agencys?
