    What do you all find is the best way to promote your business, I'm a one man band who does a little supply but mainly looking to build this to the majority of my work. Do things like advertising in local magazines etc work? What do you all find works best
    Thanks in advance

    I’d say get a Facebook and instagram page set up and post pictures of your work.

    NICF has been good for me and quickstep installer course. Social media is massive. Local pages are good for advertising

    Naff all, word of mouth and I still struggle to keep up.
    Cant be doing with the whole social media thing, faceplop I absolutely hate.

    Closest thing I got to advertising is business cards :D

    Hi Rob, As above... social media is a must! Get on fb and insta and post about recent projects. Get your van sign written. Word of mouth is huge so ALWAYS do a GREAT job. Work out what you're best at and focus on that. Don't compete on price, instead, let your quality of work do the talking. Everyone starts somewhere.. just keep going!

    in social media main tactic is staying active try to post something like every 2-3 days best post are with picture (if it's not from the internet that's even better) and good engagement you can do some games for followers like you rather have this floor or this floor react with heart or smile. traditional media is also decent but i think local radio is the best option as many offices have radio playing whole work day
