So what forms of marketing works for you? More so (what I'm really getting at) what's your weakest area in your business when it comes to your marketing/advertising?
Mine is when I went though these doors to do a little of my own today. What I have been putting off.. Cold calling. It was a little scary, I was very rusty and came across (I am sure) very nervous and dweeb like haha.... It's not like riding a bike, it's not..... It's been over 20 years since I had done this form of marketing, way back when I was in a sign writing business. Door to door introducing myself and our services. Any new businesses or contacts I do work for now Is almost always through word of mouth so when I greet new people through others it's with confidence as I've been highly recommended by other business people I do regular advertising or design work for. - As they say "you are only as good as the last job you've done" Well that's what I believe anyway. But being in a new area I thought I should get out and introduce myself. But cold calling? Not my strong point by far. I find it a little cheeky and intrusive to others time and also I am a little shy when meeting new people. Put your visual marketing in my hands and I'm in my element. I have to say though, being in a new area and being greeted by the warm and friendly business owners and employees today was reassuring that I am in the right place.
Now to get back in front of the computer where I belong.
Have a great day :) Happy marketing
