Cheap Advertising for Anyone Working from Home
Wow … my how time flies when you’re busy. It’s been over two weeks since either Toni or I have had a chance to come in and do a brain dump.
One of the hardest things for many small businesses … especially those that operate from home … is to advertise their services. The usual advertising channels are both expensive and not all that effective anymore but here is one way of advertsing your business that is both cheap and often gives you the chance to respond to enquiries instantly.
Toni had this embroidered on some shirts for our web design and hosting business in Hervey Bay a few months ago and ever since then they have been doing a great job of advertising our services. Any time I head out of the office - and remember, I work from home while Toni works from our office downtown - I slip one of these shirts on.
I can be going to the bank, the post office, the supermarket or even just to pick up our car from the mechanic - wherever I’m going I wear the shirt and it attracts leads. A couple of days ago I was picking the car up from the mechanic after some major repairs and the office assistant asked about a website for her small part-time business.
Standing in line at the bank or even sitting with Toni in a cafe and having coffee are all places where we’ve picked up leads from advertising on our shirts. It’s cheap and very effective and if you’re not using it to get your business out there in front of potential customers then you’re missing out.
