Light Up The Local Paper

The local newspaper can help you gain the recognition you need to get a start. Also, other local publications such as a Bargain Post (basically a paid classifieds publication) can also help you reel in interested people.

When you create an ad for any publication, try to be as creative as possible. Anyone can place an ad, but the ones who draw attention with creativity usually have the best results. Everyone sees ads constantly, but it’s not all of the time that we see something that is sure to provide a memory for life.

Network With Other Businesses

Just about every type of business I have been to uses computers (except my barber who really dislikes technology for some odd reason). Where they use computers, they can use the services that we have to offer. Whether it is now or later really doesn’t matter since the revenue all adds up the same at the end of the year.

Make sure you make a regular habit of meeting with local business owners not only to promote what you have to offer, but to get to know them as well. The more relationships that we build simply means the more people that know about us.

Sponsor Local Events

Local events are a great opportunity to promote computer repair services. Especially since most households now contain some form of computing device. This could be an Easter egg hunt or a carnival. Wherever the locals are gathering, make sure they see your name at least once during the event.

Distribute Flyers/Literature

Ok, this might not be an absolutely remarkable form of marketing, but it does work when it’s done right. Make sure whatever it is that you decide to pass out clearly explains your company and what it does.

Those who see it truly need to justify their call to you that brings you to their home or business. Make sure you don’t create a flyer so vague that it ends up in the trash, make it to where they just have to show someone else because it’s so full of awesomeness.

Internet Marketing

This needs to be done carefully, so that you target the area around you with demographics that actually fit those who are mainly in need of computer repair services. However, internet marketing can become a form of advertising that you won’t ever want to turn away as the outcomes are unpredictable.
