Great customer service is first. Networking with other vendors in your industry is important but if you don't offer good customer service no one will refer additional business to you in the future.

I used to use the word "Deposit" but within the last year switched it to "Retainer". It was suggested that here in California, legally, the meaning of "Deposit" is money being held on clients behalf, therefore must be returned/refunded if services are cancelled by client. "Retainer" on the other hand implies monies being paid for a product or service, therefore I (as the vendor being paid) can deduct any time I have spent on client (consultation, research of vendors, writing contract, etc) and are no longer required to refund. Not sure of the laws in Philly but I hope that helps.
