6. Always take suggestions. For free market research, just ask your customers. Set up a suggestion box at your place of business (or online. Ask customers to fill out their names, addresses and e-mail addresses along with their suggestions, and you’ve got the makings of a mailing list, too. While you’re at it, ask your employees for cost-saving suggestions, too.
7. Show up at Community Events well kitted- Make sure you have promotional kits such as company T-shirts, caps etc and appear at community events. This gives your business a face and a level of trust that you are always there for the community. Take active part in the show.
Always make sure your business promotion count and all avenues are well exploited.
