Business Networking International ... BNI ... when I first launched my business law practice in 1997, I was invited to a BNI meeting... and learned about network/relationship marketing... it has been a blessing every month since then...

The news paper, it was 30yrs ago

My feet, I walked business to business and introduced myself, and left a flyer, its harder to 'delete' a flyer than it is an email :)

Put out Flyers and cards on doors, cars, and whatever free listings were available,

Door knocking. Showing up at the office every day! Being available. Always learning. 

I am still trying to figure out the best channels for marketing and reaching a target market? IHave spoken to many marketing companies that want to charge me anywhere from $3,000 - $700 per month for this type of marketing and adds just not sure what is the best answer?

I found that explaining the benefits of using today's technology to business owners is best done in person so they can ask questions. So I find business networking helps find business owners needing assistance.

My front window was the best inaugural advertising for Framed x Design as it enabled me to showcase my framing talents as well as the talented works of art by local artists that I represent.

I used Social Media and beat the streets to let people know who i was and what i had to offer them!
