5 ways to promote your business

Promoting your business may seem like a challenge, but these five tips will give you the confidence you need sell your products or services. 1. Promote whenever you communicate: Put your business name, logo, and contact info on letterheads, in your email signature, and hand out business cards. 2. Use your car to advertise: Apply a removable sticker that promotes your company on your vehicle. 3. Use social media: The virtual world is growing and putting your business on the grid is the best way to acquire mass numbers of views. Try making a business page on Facebook, for example. 4. Blog or write articles: Have an about me page with a blurb about you and your business, include testimonials, and expand on your expertise. 5. Give a seminar or presentation: Get in touch with government-sponsored organizations or non-profit programs to find a venue where you can explain your services, give discounts, hand out freebies, and teach attendees important skills.
