\"Customer<\/a><\/h2>\n

Even though your business idea is excellent that doesn’t mean that the customers will find your product or service on the market.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are some useful strategies to find customers:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Define your customers and their needs and consider how they would normally find products or services like yours.<\/li>\n
  2. Get in touch with local newspapers and ask them for an article about your business.<\/li>\n
  3. Watch for events which you can promote.<\/li>\n
  4. Atttend meetings and seminars which can be useful for your business.<\/li>\n
  5. Give away free samples of your product or, if you’re a consultant, free advice.<\/li>\n
  6. Build up a social network of friends and clients.<\/li>\n
  7. At the beginning many small ads are more effective than one big ad.<\/li>\n
  8. Ask people for reasons, if they don’t want buy your product.<\/li>\n
  9. Stay polite with customers.<\/li>\n
  10. Tell your customers to recommend your product\/service if they’re pleased.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
