Hello all,
I have been searching this forum for quite some time now and reading all the different stories, questions, comments, advice, successes, etc. I am very impressed but very frustrated at the same time. I own a small business since May of 2006. I provide start-up services for entrepreneurs. I don't have great credit but I have managed to put a lot of my personal finances into the business over the past 2 years. I try not to get discouraged because I know that it takes time for a business to generate a steady income and sometimes even longer to generate a profit. However, I approaching the magical third year of business and I am having a difficult time with my marketing strategy. I do have a business plan and it is also part of what I offer in my services. I also have a marketing plan that I have already implemented. My question to the forum, (some of the experts here) is this: What are some key ways to sell a service or attract actual consumers without the extensive marketing budget?
For a little more information on my business, you can visit my website at (www.paperworxny.com)
I am truly interested in any feedback. My current goal is to generate outside business (other than word-of-mouth). I have invested (small $) in a sponsored search and I am receiving a few clicks (of course, THOUSANDS of impressions) but it has not generated any new business yet. However, I started the campaign on 8/8.
Any responsible advise is appreciated. Thanks for reading this post!
