Marketing Friday: More marketing tips and tricks for Virtual Assistants

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

• Network on online forums in your chosen target market – remember that website link on your signature again!
• When you’re networking make a point of gathering as many business cards as you can – people are only too happy to give them away – rather than concentrating too much on dishing yours out, because each card you have gives you the chance to market yourself and your business to that contact.
• Look out for networking events run by your local council – these range from support networks for young entrepreneurs, women into business groups and tax workshops run by Inland Revenue.
• Send out 2 letters a week to potential new clients in your target market.
• Follow them up your prospect list with phone calls – it’ll improve your conversions tenfold!
