New Buisness

[lewisplumber]

Dear plumbers only. Not DIY ers. I have just set up my Buisness. I have got 5000leaflets to get out and I have started advertising on face book, in sainsburys and tesco. Where else could I advertise. Does any one have any tips or handy ideas on how you started your company and what worked for you. All advice welcome. Many thanks

Don't advertise round Loose. They'll eat you.

 

[lewisplumber]

How do you mean?

 

[Dotty]

I was joking mate lol, I used to work around Maidstone years ago, just found the folk in Loose a little odd.

 

[lewisplumber]

I know there are some odd ones round this area! But I am sure there are some nice areas. Shame I live in a rough patch!

You need to target a bit more specifically.

Visit every estate agent and property rental co.

That's visit in person, not drop leaflets in.

I know they'll have hundreds of plumbers on the books but they might just remember you one day /night.

Same with any other business using lots of water and heat, hairdressers, cafes, not national chains they have national arrrangements.

Private schools and nurserys.

I'll have 1.5% if you get anything from them:smug:

Gumtree. eBay?

the local {glossy) magazine, with the crosswords ,
receipes, and honest local tradesmen.

I have done Gumtree. And yes estate agents are on my list of places to go. I am busy for the next month filming on channel 5 so in October I am going mad on advertising!
