Opened a new business!?

Question

How do I get customers to come to my business, I've tried cheap oil changes ect...I don't really have the money for advertising at this time, it is rather expensive. Any Ideas?

Answer 1

Invest on a printer and print out your own ads and display them all over over town. Offer some stuff to go with your oil changes, like certificates or percentage off your next oil change etc. Email Dr. Nunley and he will give you really good advice on very affective advertising. www.drnunley.com his advice is free. I recommend you email him right away, it will save you time and money.

Answer 2

You didn't have a very good business plan then!  Advertising is your life blood and if you can't afford it, you'll probably loose your business! Make up your own flyer's and put them out, that should be cheap enough!

Answer 3

So, first of all what type of business do you own and what part of the country are you in.

Need more inforamtion to answer your question the best way possible.

Answer 4

Flyer's can help.

Make a promotional offer that lets customers get a free oil change if they refer 3 people.  

Answer 5

Go to score.org and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. The next screen will show you the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor.

Answer 6

make flyer's with coupons on it !!!!!

Give them to local business owners,close to you with REAL GOOD discounts. (local store owners, managers etc)

leave the flyer's at grocery stores, beauty shops, tire stores,auto stores

tell them your a new buss. owner and want to leave a few with them.

they will be happy to let you, especially if you give the manager  a little better "SPECIAL"discount card.

     Make "business cards with discounts on them too"

Have a one day a week special and invest in a marque board .(you can rent them also .)

Have a red car or white car or whatever color car 1\2 price special day!

  GOOD LUCK!!
