Do you need some new ideas to get customers?

Once again Laura from the Bootstrapper blog has a great entry with 52 Creative Ways to Find New Clients.

The first suggestion is pretty easy; make sure your website is working properly. Check all your links and make sure that they are still working properly and every page can be reached. My web hosting company provides a service to check links so if your company does make sure you are using it.

I have mentioned on this blog and my other blog that you need to have a blog of your own and that is idea two. It is really easy to set up a blog so be sure to do it and let people become more familiar with you and makes you look more accessible. One suggestion I heard at a recent conference was to use a service other than Blogger. There is several that look more professional and are just as easy to use.

The third suggestion she has is to have a strong presence on line. Not only do you need to blog but you also need to be on message boards, visit other Blogs and to be sure to comment on them.

Among the other suggestions she offers is making a you tube video showing what your company does and showing off your company in a creative way.

Another suggestion offered is to get in contact with your alma mater since many alumni associations have databases that mention what you are doing. Basically you should contact everyone you know both from your professional, personal, and school lives and let them know what you are doing now. Word of mouth is you're best marketing tool so be sure to use it.

She has other suggestions so take a look at them.
