We're on the same business... only difference is i'm starting on a shoestring
Currently here are my ideas of marketing my service business:
- Make Value. Dare to be different. Define USP (Unique Selling Proposition).
- Computer service plus 2 hours computer tutorial 1 hour per week (add some value and uniqueness to your service)
- Referral program. Every successful referral gets 10% of the service charge per customer even on repeat business (Help other people generate extra income and let them do the marketing for you).
- Put those two strategies on flyers and distribute it yourself (it's cheaper and they can ask questions directly from you) or post it on strategic locations (in jeepneys in my case) or the classified ads that you mentioned.
I still have some more ideas in my head... but i'm trying to focus now on taking
ACTION. See if it works then revise it quickly if not.
Please update me with your progress... maybe we can share ideas on how to make our business successful and help other people as well
