Could go round local businesses and offer them a small discount in return for putting your flyer in their shop window/handing to customers.

Could also try a refer a friend scheme, for every new client an existing client brings you, you could knock a quid or 2 off their next bill. Even if they brought you 5 new clients and you knock a tenner off their next bill, thats 5 extra services you might not have had!

I could go on all day but I have to get ready for college now lol im sure theres a huuge thread on promoting your business but I cant think what its called for the life of me! Hth anyways xx

I have advertised for free on Netmums, Gumtree and a Bridal/wedding website.

They were added on about a week ago and no takers yet.

I also have my website and facebook business page

I am a make up and hair stylist so am probably going into a quiet time of year, I also keep being told its about 'word of mouth' with hair and make up and through a friend have got one potential bride.

Fingers crossed things improve xx
