Word of mouth is your absolute best source of advertising and it costs nothing. You can, of course, offer a reward for referrals. You could try Groupon, but make sure it's a value for the money and they want to return.

Yes. We used Groupon and was quite effective. I think it is great when building a new business.

We have done Groupon from time to time. The last time we did it, four years ago, we had a good response, although not 100% of the purchasers even used it. Of those that did, we retained about 10%, some of whom are still with us today. It was a good investment at the time. It really depends upon...

I believe a service business will render better results than retail.
First of all, determine what makes you different or special and use that. For sure the best advertisement is word of mouth, but you must start someplace. Most likely, your best resource will be social media, once you get going. Do them for 1/2 price to start with. Offer buy one/get one. ...

First of all, determine what makes you different or special and use that. For sure the best advertisement is word of mouth, but you must start someplace. Most likely, your best resource will be social media, once you get going. Do them for 1/2 price to start with. Offer buy one/get one. Rewards for referrals. Use Groupon etc. Also, in the final analysis, remember there are a lot of places one can have this service performed. The thing that will set you apart will be your ability to connect with people.

It depends upon the question. I would go to the CPA first. Normally, there are simple answers that can be answered, but if there is an audit involved, the accountant is your best friend in my opinion. If there are other challenges beyond that, you should bring in the attorney, but not until then.

I prefer the gift certificates because it is easier to specify, in writing, what you are giving. My software, however, has the option to process and print gift cards. Check out Salonbiz. https://salonbizsoftware.com/

Staying connected and engaged is helpful. While your service needs to be good, facials are available everywhere, except online!!! it is all about how much they like "you". Once you get one client, build from referrals. You can throw thousands of dollars at marketing yourself and nothing works...

Staying connected and engaged is helpful. While your service needs to be good, facials are available everywhere, except online!!! it is all about how much they like "you". Once you get one client, build from referrals. You can throw thousands of dollars at marketing yourself and nothing works better than word of mouth. Join clubs, do some feebies and demos. Go to different events where you can have a booth. Once you meet enough people they will do the marketing for you and you must keep connected with them via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and your own website. Keep reminding them that you are there. Personal notes are helpful and is an antiquated sort of marketing but is surely something to think about.
Best wishes.
