Rep Power: 14 | Marketing question Hi I am doing mobile in Florida and wanted to get an idea of what marketing things everyone did when they first started out. I have google listing, car graphics...etc but I have to just really market myself. Someone recommended to just get involved with different community functions so my face is out there and promote myself. It has only been a few weeks, and I know it wont happen overnight, but some ideas I have had are handing out discount coupons in front of my local Publix ( grocery store) , doing sponsor events by donating a free tan ( if ad space is too expensive) Since I am starting out the budget is somewhat limited and just want to do things that I will get the most return from. I checked into Val Pack in my area and those mailings are over $400. Just dont know if that is worth it. I have to market my self to salons and gyms but do not know what tyoe of referral fee or split would be fair. If anyone can PM on what worked for you me I would be very appreciative :-) Melissa |

Rep Power: 20 | Re: Marketing question If you don't already have a website, that should be your #1 priority right now. Because every single advertisement you do thereafter will point them to your website which will have all the information that you can't put on a flyer, banner, coupon, business card, poster, etc... If you need any help with your marketing and creating a brand, website, etc... feel free to contact me.

Rep Power: 16 | Re: Marketing question In regards to the salons, I wouldn't give them a referral fee. Give them a free or 1/2 price spray. Hopefully, it looks good, and they'll tell other people about it. Give them a few coupons to pass out to their customers. |
