Hi,
As some may have seen/heard, I recently started a business and have already been in contact with some of you for advice.
I am in the process of doing all the advertising yet have heard strong positives and negatives for each type.
Eg:
- Newspaper is pricey and minimal conversion from enquiries,
- True-local is a double edged sword, as some of the best tradies I have worked with say only their very few 'unsatisfied' clients were the ones who took the time to write a review, whilst the happy ones never get around to it.
- Websites seem to range from $100 - $100,000
- Word of mouth by far came first however it takes time to build up a reputation.
If you wouldn't mind I'd like to hear what type, or combination of advertising worked for you?
(meanwhile, massive learning curve, wow, things are different on the other side of PAYG, love the challenge!)
Regards
NHG
