Hello,

I am starting a Marketing company and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on where to start. I have a name, business cards, and I am finalizing my business plan. I just need to know where to go to start getting business?
Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks:D

What type of experience do you have in marketing? What services are you selling?

I don't know how to say this in a way that doesn't seem offensive, and believe me, I am in no way trying to offend you. But, if you plan to sale your marketing expertise to others, you should know how to begin marketing your own company.

Starting a Promotional Agency, Welcome D

Who are you?? It is so much easier with a first name. Also go to Members page and add some info.

I am a SCORE Counselor and yes SCORE is FREE. We at SCORE help people with Marketing Plans.
You can also go to SCORE online and visit its FREE Virtual Learning Center with 26 FREE online courses including Marketing.

Good luck, LUCKIEST

I agree with the comments so far - even if you don't really have experience - you still must be able to sell yourself. Try SCORE - online or find a local office or try Small Business Development Center (SBDC) - find a local office. You can also go to your chamber of commerce and see what help they offer or where they can point you. All are free.
