Types of Advertisement

Hello Estys, I’m blessed to be relocating my business from a salon to a home-based business, but I’m wondering if my advertising style should change. While located at the salon, in order to generate business, I sometimes ran specials with companies like Living Social, plus I placed my brochures and flyers throughout the salon, but it’s my understanding that this option isn’t available for home-based businesses. What other types of advertisement (besides word of mouth) do you guys suggest? Thanks!

Alicanto.com is offering free promotional if you sign up during the month of March...

you run your own specials, promotions or events... you have to enter all your clients... it is your very own "groupon" and you get all the money... you can up grade to mailings and texting... But email is the best and it is not a "Newsletter"

Using constant contact or some form of email. I use schedulicity and can send out a special ( post to Facebook) or email certain clients different offers directly from there. It's $20 a month and has tons of tools.

D you send a card for birthdays? Maybe a discount or dollar amount?

Referral cards- $10 for one $20 for two and 3 get (x)

buy 3 get one free on any service up front

Go to networking events

Blog or keep on social media
