Build Your Business Without Advertising

Do you have a limited advertising budget? In that case, you can build your business through business networking - no need to advertise - promote your business through word of mouth advertising (networking).

Steps

Join one or more business networking groups.

Do business with people who do business with you and let people that you do business with know that you would appreciate their business as well.

Become involved in your community - this serves your community well and it really expands your relationships at the same time.

Always be on time and provide excellent service.

Ask your customers if you can use them for a reference.

Ask questions about other peoples business wherever you go. People love to talk about what they do - be sincere in finding out what they do. You may not be able to use their service, but might know someone who could. When you give referrals, you get referrals.

Hand out your business cards wherever you go.
