    got my own business....want more clients!
    hey tsr!

    I currently have my own business offering spray tans in my local areas.
    All but 2 clients are one time only clients which I'm ok with as money is money!
    All my business comes from online but I would like more local people.
    I live in south london, sw2 isn't the best area as some of you londoners may know. Anyway my idea is to put up posters on bus stops with my number on the bottom as a tear off? ( Like those man and a van ones you see?)
    I would use a temporary sim card/phone as I really wouldn't want my real number everywhere ( dodgey calls etc)
    Its cheaper than getting leaflets done and less time consuming. But what puts doubt in my mind is how will I know they are genuine customers? People can talk the talk and I am yet to have a no show but there's just the niggling feeling you know?
    Anyway I'd love to hear what you guys think!

    Just go for it. If you don't totally suck then the regular customers will come in time. For now it's just a matter of getting some money rolling in.

    That's not a business. With a name like pinklucie I was expecting you to be an escort or something. Maybe that'll be more lucrative.

    lol that's not very professional, particularly as you came on here for some advice. Think about setting up a website, this is the 21st century. And some sort of special introductory deal. Now is a great time to start, prom is coming up and many girls are after a spray tan.
