Hi lads,
I thought I wouldstart this thread to see how people advertise or intend to advertise. Â I will make a list below for people to add their own information, Â this way we all have the benefit of maybe learning something from someone else.
I have recently started my own business, and have began to advertise.
I have done the following:
1)  Advertised with Yell.com  Around £650 for the year.  Due to be in the Yellow Pages in October.
2)  Set up a Website with BT  www.Ski-m.co.uk Costs around £120.00 a Year.
3)  Bought 1000 Business cards, some Note pads and 5 T Shirts with my comany Logo and phone numbers Printed. £110
4) Â Advertised with local trade webites.
5) Â Advertised with Google, Â I am on Google now, Â but I don't seem to have the correct Meta Tags. (Any Ideas?)
6) Â Posted over 600 Business cards since Monday.
7) Â Looking at getting some Fliers printed, Â but the prices are reduculous.
Any advice from you guys for good advertising techniques would be appreciated.
I have recently been around to quote for my first job, some guy found me on Yell.com and wants 3 sides of his house Rendering. Its an insurance job, with a view to the inside of the house being plastered.
Come on Guys, list your experiences.
