Due to the lack of consistent work coming in from normal contacts I'm going to have a push at advertising myself. I'm thinking of handing out my card to family and friends to pass onto anyone that mentions electrical work, leave some with the pub landlord, pin some up in the wholesalers etc. My question is, how much business do you lot get from this type of advertising?
I'm also thinking of getting some leaflets printed up to put in local shop windows advertising the fact that I'm a very local electrician with reasonable prices that I may give examples of? Is it a good idea to post leaflets through peoples doors? I normally throw them in the recycle bin so as I get one.
What about a 4 week small advert in the local newspaper? Apart from getting loads of calls from other advertising companies, what response should I expect?
Do any of our members use Vista print or is it worth spending a bit more and designing cards & leaflets face to face with a local firm?
Any input good or bad is appreciated.
