Marketing Friday: Market your Virtual Assistant Business

Here are five ideas which you can work on today – Marketing Friday – to get more business next week!

• Create an “elevator” speech to tell people what you do in a couple of short sentences so you can effectively stick in their minds.
• Try a couple of paid-for networking groups like BNI, 4N etc – most will let you “try before you buy” and you might make some useful contacts.
• Tell everyone you meet about your business – your first client will probably be amongst your friends and family!
• Write a press release and call up / contact your local newspaper / magazines – try www.mediauk.com for contacts.
• Speak at an event, your local college, a new business event etc.
