Give away branded merchandise. Merchandising manufacturers cater for all budgets. Stick to useful items that people will actually use, such as t-shirts, keyrings, mugs and pens, and give these things to customers, suppliers and anyone else at every opportunity.
Make more use of business cards. Business cards are very useful for reinforcing word-of-mouth recommendations. Carry plenty with you and give two to contacts - one for themselves, one to pass on.
Use your pen
Many successful business people advocate sending hand written notes. Bill Cullen, Felix Denis and others regularly send short letters and messages offering thanks, making suggestions, offering referrals to their clients, prospects and business partners.
Get Social
Facebook, Twitter and others are very useful services if used properly. Remember to not continuously bombard your friends or likes with sales messages or you will find yourself alone
Get a website
Yes, this is our pet one and we have left it to the end. If you don’t have a website, why not? If you have a website – work it. Get the information your customers and prospects want online. Use it to support your business
Use third party review website:
The best way to props fast is to get as many people as you can to review your business. If you own a spa get as many people as possible to review in on yelp or if you know a hostel get on hostelworld or hostelbookers.
