Morning all,
Right, I have been subbying for a long time and just before xmas I decided that it was time I had my own business. I placed an advert in the local business guide which ran for 2 months (dec & jan) and last week I placed an advert in the local paper which has a circulation of 120k. This advert went out on Thursday, then in a free paper on friday and the internet for a week.
My problem is, I have not received one call from these adverts. I know January is normally quiet anyway but I thought I might have got something. At the moment I am sat on my arse trying to think of new ways to promote the business but don't really want to spend another £180 on advertising that won't work. I have some professionally printed business cards and letter heads. I have sent letters to all the local estate agents and gone on the councils website to get names and addresses of those who have submitted planning applications and I have sent letters off to them.
Sorry for such a long first post but I am getting very frustrated. If you are advertising at the minute, what is working for you? Thanks, Ben
