May I suggest a little forward planning in these lean times?

Get the leaflets out offering services, boiler changes etc.

Get some nice professional cards printed for the shop windows, providers, B&Q etc

Take a little time to have your web sites updated.

Give the van any touch ups it needs, if its starting to look a bit tired consider a body wrap which can be written up.

Have a look around at community halls churches etc usually cheap advertyising in their Sunday missels etc.

We all make the same mistakes, never bother marketing when we are busy, a friend of mine in Florida goes as far as leaving his business card with the tip when in restaurants coffee shops etc learn a little from him, the man is a multi millionaire but in his own words "Always Hustling".

Thanks for the suggestion !!! Did a good marketing last year and had lots of business , now I will start advertising just before end of summer !

The best time to advertise is when you're busy. Because when you're not, you've left it too late.

Every decent job you go to, make a point of spending an extra 1/2 hour putting leaflets round their neighbours. Chances are if you've done a good job, word will soon get around and then people will have your contact details from a leaflet.
