Differing methods work for different business.
As a minimum I would have a website, facebook and twitter account and upload regularly of pictures of your work.
Social media and the Internet are huge for developing businesses.
There are lots of advice for you in this thread, if none of this works then it may be an idea to get someone in the industry to give you a no holds barred feedback after having a treatment from you to work on.
Search online for advice on promoting your business too.
Have a look at home business that are successful and compare their advertising to yours.
If you have a hairdresser could you ask to leave your info with them too it's the same target client group.
At the nursery do you look like a professional? How you look can sell your business too, immaculate at all times. There is a thread about that on here too.
Your business is a package, your treatments, you and your premises = reputation and clients.
Is your home salon professional. No kids running round, smells of the tea cooking etc etc.
Just a few pointers to consider.
Let's us all know how it goes and what you did to get over this stumbling block.
I have a facebook page and I am always immaculate (always get comments on my glamourous appearance)
I have a dedicated beauty room which is also well presented and immaculate
I also believe my work is very good and the 2 people I have done nails for are extremely impressed and have turned from nail virgins into people who love having their nails done ( 1 is a friend the other a colleague) they have both sang my praises to everyone they know and they are both successful sales people so know how to sell something to someone) its just unfortunate that my friend lives 30 miles away so all her collegues and friends do too otherwise I think I would of been fully booked from her alone as she gets daily comments on her nails.
hope this post doesn't make me look full of myself , I really am not :o
