why am i annoyed????
well it started here ive just started up my own home salon as a lot of u know, and all was going well i had a quite a few clients so i was really happy it was taking of but i needed to do some more advertising to drum up some more clients, so i decided to do a leaflet drop, i printed thousands of leaflets (very well designed if i must say) and dropped a bundle at loads of different hair dressers, tanning salons, gyms, colleges etc etc
but now all of a sudden ...zilt! nothing is happening, my business had ground to a halt, no clients!! the leaflets had returned no results! so as u can imagine im soooooooooooooooooooo annoyed!!!!
i even invested in a new business mobile and i hold on to my phone for dear life hoping for calls but nothing..i could cry! why had this happened....
i have been told leaflets arent nessassary the best form of advertising because people tend to look and throw them away...i mean how many leaflets do u look at that get deleivered to your house and then chuck them away..i wish i realised this before i did it....i also found out getting a priority advert on yell is rubbish...my friend advertised on there last year and he only got one call through yell.com about his business...and it werent even a client....wrong number!!
so if anyone had any advice on advertising and how i can boost my business some more i would appreciate any help from u peeps!
im going to advertise a month worth in my local paper but i need to do more...im pulling my hair out
