Hi All,

 

How much do you spend on marketing/advertising per month (or year)?

 

Do you allocate a certain amount per year or spend as required?

 

What do you spend it on?

 

Online Marketing - PPC (Google Adwords etc), Directory Listings (Yell.com etc), SEO

Offline Marketing - Flyers, Magazine Ads, Events, Business Networks etc

 

Which medium do you see the best returns?

 

Thanks

 

we yellowpages, (I've no idea why)

 

other than that £0 spent this yr 

SW did adwords and it has a reasonable return but is very expensive. Sw used them but at then end we were spending about 8k a month. Use it to get started but its not an investment, turn it off the leads stop instantly

£0 and we can't keep up with the work we have.

I think we have a linage ad in YP most of our work from new customers comes from being a member of NSI

I'd assume the OP is getting started and doesn't have referrals?

Correctamundo!

I would say if anyone has the golden egg they are not gonna lend it to you. There are some very talented lads here on all sides but I doubt you will get the 'golden' answer you seek. Usual process is do a great job dont sell your skills cheap or you will be back working for someone who didn't. I'm assuming again you have left employment and assume you can open the doors and the clients will flood in?

Yes most people who we havent  been recommended to, are looking for an NSI approved company

Oh ok
