Getting new clients changes at every new stage of your company. Find out ways to gain new clients for your business.
Invest in a website, Facebook page, and Instagram account.
First, you need to put yourself on the internet. Start by doing your social media functional by providing all of your business information. They do not have to be fancy to start with.
Walk into every business within a 10-block radius of your new business.
Bring a stack of business cards and flyers. Introduce yourself and ask if you can hand them out to the staff or leave them with the manager to do so. Include discount cards. $10 off your first service can be an incentive to get them in the door
Cross-promote with a successful and established business.
Make sure it compliments your business. For example, if you are a hairdresser offer to give all the clients of your local massage therapist discount cards for your services.
Set up a give away product or a gift certificate. The massage therapist can tell their clients “Anyone who books a massage this month will receive $10 off haircuts with (insert your name here)” It gives her something to give to her clients and promotes you at the same time.
Online Bookings
Clients want convenience. They want to be able to book an appointment anywhere or at any time. It’s really easy to set up and you don’t even need a website! Make sure all of your online profiles (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc.) have a direct booking link!
Give every client your business cards.
Word of mouth is the best way to gain new clients. This gives your regulars an incentive to talk you up and bring the clients to you. Tell them for every new client they refer to you, you will give them a $10 gift certificate for your services.
Use the time to find clients. You just have to put time and hard work into it.
