I started my business last year, first on friends and family etc and then around September slowly started advertising. Then in October/November stepped it up.
I'm listed on lots of free sites, use facebook,pintrest and many more! yell, gumtree, google adwords etc and the list goes on and on, i have a website be it simple and so far ive had 0 yes a big fat 0 new clients and no phone calls
The small clients base i do have are all very happy with treatments and all help me by giving out cards when people complement on nails or tan etc yet i still get no enquiries.
i'm home based and so far have invested over 6K and to be honest i'm out of cash to invest any more :grr:
Do i continue to plug away or give up ?
I love what i do and get great pleasure, i know it takes ages to build a good client base but really no inquiries in over 4 months!! is that normal ?
i run comps and deals from time to time and have even offered free treatments to local companies in return for handing out some leaflets and nothing!!!
ive a couple more routes to try but with a £0 cash flow i'm temped to give up.
what shall i do ?
I cant even get my likes up on facebook
I live in a good area
i'm not over nor under priced
I'm not a chav lol i'm a almost 33year old mum of 2
i'm ready to scream
why do people who are untrained, offer cr*p treatments and nail get inundated with booking and i get nothing
my treatments offered so far are
Waxing
Manicures
Pedicures
Minx
Gelish
Tanning
i want to add more this year money permitted but am i wasting my time and money ?
i would like to do
Courses -
Tinting
EE
Ear candling
body wraps
Make up ?
services to add -
swarovski pedicure
Callus peel
widen my range of nails by doing more affects ie foils, additives etc
Any tips please ? other than the business thread on here as i read it time and time again
