im very curious about how you older guys managed to be self employed before mobilephones etc. how on earth did you recieve job queries without mobile phone if you were sole trader??? i advertise on net which is great. but how did you fellows cope before the net? local papers? waste of time in my experience. yellow pages? a joke. maybe it was different 15-20 years ago.really interested in how you managed back then to get yourselfs noticed,
started out a year ago and sending xmas cards to all those ive done work for so they dont forget about me!! what methods have u chaps found best to drum up business?printing out few 1000's leaflets and droppping them off in my neighbourhood. i also drop of 15 leaflets at neighbouring houses where ive just done work, only takes couple of mins. installs i find an advertising sandwich board outside the house is useful too!!
