getting started

[John McElreath]

What is the best and cheapest way to advertise locksmithing business? I Have all the tools and and the knowledge to do residential locks. I was Thinking of advertising in store bulletin boards. Im not sure if that is a Good idea or not.

Where are you?

I think that it would depend on where you live, to how you advertise.
A small town with no-one in it, the shopfront sign may come across as
nice, cosy, honest, affordable, local, etc.

A big city with the same sign may come across as
dodgy, sleazy, broke, etc.


There was a thread a while back that discussed a few methods and ideas
on advertising: viewtopic.php?t=9037&highlight=advertising

Otherwise you could do a search for 'advertising' on this site, I'm sure that
you'll find something, or just wait for someone else to give better advice than me, hehe.

Is this a full-time buisness or a part-time job to make some extra money on the side? Do you have a store?

Printing flyers is always cheap.
