I found several web designers online, filled out their online contact forms, only gave interviews to the ones that actually responded ( I figured if I was hiring someone to do my business website, they had better be web savy)... and lo and behold Leslie was the winner. Marketing one's self and business in these times is quite a bit different than it used to be... I am a firm believer in the internet, and good use of it for advertising and marketing... ( I am increasilngly becoming dissatisifed with traditional advertising mediums) HOWEVER.... It all boils down to this.... If you treat customers (and potential customers) as you would want to be treated... If you offer a good product and/or service at competitive rates( and you don't have to be the cheapest).... and you offer good customer service.... IN the long run.... people will come to you and find you... and as Leslie says, most of your good and/or easiest clients/sales will come from word of mouth.... So to some up my words here... Operate Kindly, fairly and honestly... and all else should take care of itself... Now if only my business was that easy...

Marketing one’s self and business in these times is quite a bit different than it used to be… I am a firm believer in the internet, and good use of it for advertising and marketing… ( I am increasilngly becoming dissatisifed with traditional advertising mediums)

HOWEVER…. It all boils down to this….

If you treat customers (and potential customers) as you would want to be treated… If you offer a good product and/or service at competitive rates( and you don’t have to be the cheapest)…. and you offer good customer service…. IN the long run…. people will come to you and find you… and as Leslie says, most of your good and/or easiest clients/sales will come from word of mouth….

So to some up my words here… Operate Kindly, fairly and honestly… and all else should take care of itself…

Now if only my business was that easy…

I think you found me through Google. Remember how pregnant I was when I walked in the door for our first meeting? You were very brave to take a chance with me. To think that that baby is 19 months old now... Hmmm. I think you found me through Google. Remember how pregnant I was when I walked in the door for our first meeting?

Was it word of mouth?....somehow I came across your website, and since then I have recommended you to a few folks. Wonder if they followed through...

Personal recommendations are incredibly strong in the world of business. Things have been going great for me regarding search engine traffic. A Google search for 'logo designer' shows me in a decent position (at least in Google search from my geographic location). My enquiries are building steadily, not to mention my client base. It's all good for now. Couldn’t agree more about word of mouth. Personal recommendations are incredibly strong in the world of business.
