free advertising
locally
what are the
choices...
Many work at home moms are going to the internet to build
their businesses. There is certainly a
large market to be found there, but don’t
overlook the opportunities you have right in
your own back yard. Chances are that if you
found your business interesting, then many
other moms in your area would, too!
Here are some suggestions to market locally:
- Put up flyers advertising
your business in local coffee shops or on
message boards in local supermarkets
- Go to local daycares and ask
if you can leave some business cards or
flyers
- Leave business cards on those
plastic changing tables in restrooms of
stores and restaurants
- Gather business cards from
other work at home moms and call them and
ask how their business is doing. They may
be ready to make a change!
- Ask if you can leave business
cards or a flyer at places where you do
business. Your local drycleaner or other
vendors may be willing to do that as a way
of thanking you for your business.
- Be ready at any time with a
business card and don’t be shy! If you are
standing in a line, strike up a
conversation. It doesn’t hurt to ask if
they would be interested in your product or
service.
- Ask everybody
for referrals. Let friends, neighbors and
anyone else you can think know about your
business. If they aren’t interested, they
most likely know someone who would be
interested.
- A combination
of marketing on the internet and marketing
locally will help you to grow your business
much faster than just focusing on the
internet. Remember that the grass is green
in your own back yard!
