advertising dollars

[Slingah]

Also something to think about is how much do you need/want and are you looking to grow....if your just looking to keep yourself busy, a little advertising can go a long way. I have built off and stay busy for years from running a small newspaper ad and distributing postcards or fliers. Twice a year I send a postcard mailing to every previous customer I have had. I design them myself from a web company like Vistaprint and make my own labels. Some times that alone will get the phone ringing.
It's tough out there....an edge is needed these days...word of mouth is not enough anymore, as I'm sure you know, if you want to stay consistently busy.
