There are many advantages to using the Internet to do business. For example, you can contact lots of people and work wherever you want. But you do not have to limit yourself to online publicity only.
You can expose your business to a larger market by means of press releases. Press releases are simple documents that you send to the media which contain information regarding your business that you hope the media will do a story about.
Press releases follow the same standard format. You can find example press releases online. They should include facts about your company and details on special events or promotions that you will soon have. Press releases can be sent to newspapers in your area or online media sources.
Just giving someone a business card is a powerful publicity tool. You can promote your business by doing nothing more than putting your business card inside you mailbox, attaching it to the back of fliers, or simply handing it out.
Be on the look out for public events that your business could sponsor in order to gain more publicity. If your business is related to children, you could get more in the public eye by sponsoring a little league team. A local health fair would be a good place to get some publicity if your company deals with health issues.
Many groups, clubs, and organizations in your area would no doubt be interested in having you come and give a speech in front of a group. Even though this can be nerve racking, if you have the courage to do so it can be a powerful publicity booster.
Try to find a group whose members are probably in your business's target market. Then contact them on the phone and ask if they would be interested in having you come to give a presentation.
The Chamber of Commerce in your area would probably be very excited to have a web designer come give a presentation. You could talk about websites and any related topics that you know how to speak about.
The people who hear your presentation may be so enamored by your presentation that they will want to do business with you or at least they will be willing to suggest you to other people who need to work with a web designer.
