Answer 4

Every business has to market...the more you market the more customers remember to you are there when they want/need your products or services.  They also have to market to let people that don't already know they are there learn about them.  I sell advertising and so many business people think just because they are busy now they don't need to advertise, but they fail to see that they always need to because their business will slow down, customers will come and go and if they wait until the business drops down and then advertise it will take time to built it back up...you want to keep that from happening.  Look at commercials and print ads etc and notice the businesses in your immediate area and nationally which ones advertise the most and which one's have the most solid following of customers.
