Marketing Bull-sh1t

[topmark]

I have a revolutionary marketing plan that costs niche its called doing a top notch job everytime, and getting refered to others.

Word of mouth beats almost every marketing method I know, Anyone agree/disagree :-\

spot on there mate

 

[oasis]

spot on yea. but to be fair out of 250 flyers i given out iv taken at least 5 jobs that are more than £500+

 

[Johnathon]

The flyers are a funny one I tried tonns of them and got nothing but know guys that have done really well out of them

 

[topmark]

Am a bit too pessamistic, was getting calls from Thomson Local, and Yellow, costs a bit and I know a few who say they got no calls.


I suppose am just looking at things from my point of view, if a flyer comes though door, I bin it. Dont mean everyone will do same.

Local Paper can have 15-20 spreads advertising each week, at £25 for the smallest ad, theres only one winner I think.

[bodplasterer]

Word of mouth is how i have always worked, I did yellow for a bit but i dont think I had one decent job come from it, plus every job i did get they were a bit suspicious of you, at least with word of mouth they know you do a decent job and can be trusted.
