Hi Paula, im too about to start working from home, ive just designed some simple flyers on my computer and to go with them ive done a promotional flyer offering half price discounts on certain treatments with an expiry date so hopefully that will bring in some clientele. I think i will post a few flyers locally and hand them to family to pass on etc i am finding it quite daunting trying to ring in business but i will keep going, and then hope for the best!!! :lol: hope this helps a bit, good luck x x

my advice would be to keep costs to a minimum for your literature. printing up your own on the computer is a great idea.i found that random leaflet drops bring very little response, try to target your audience to places where people are trying to improve themselves eg a gym or hairdressers, or places where a lot of ladies work, maybe a hospital or supermarket. yellow pages is the best way to advertise as it is something people keep all year, whereas local papers are chucked out quickly, sometimes unread.you can get a special offer for first time advertisers, it cost me about £140. i find most business comes by word of mouth, so it may be worth you doing a couple of free sets for people who work in a place like a hardressers or something so that word gets around. if you know a teenager you could do a freebie and in return she could leave a wad of leaflets in the ladies room when she goes to nightclubs. just a few ideas, i hope all goes well. :biggrin:

advertising in the local free paper is always good, giving flyers/posters to friends to put up on notice boards at work is another idea as well as offering first time discounts then word of mouth will spread and you'll be v busy in no time
