Advertising


Does anyone have any tips on getting your name out there? Where do you advertise? Any advise on this is very appreciated.
Thanks.

Re: Advertising


In todays "information age" a website is your best investment for advertising dollars imo. Hire the best web designer you can afford & make sure he know how to get it listed on the major search engines. The best website in the world ain't worth shiat if no one can find it.

Re: Advertising


We placed a small ad in the yellow book and got 5 or 6 calls so far, two of them turned into decent jobs. 90% of our work comes from referrals.
