Grow Your Business- Get your business listed.
When a neighbor posts a referral they are essentially providing the business with the best form of advertising possible…word of mouth. This is a genuine endorsement and it carries a lot of power. Neighbors are going to use businesses who have been referred by other neighbors. So how do you get neighbors to recommend you? Start by being listed in the directory.
How to earn referrals?
Let's say you are a gardener and you want to service homes in this neighborhood. You could drop a business card or flyer off at each door step. Or, you could get one client to use your service and recommend you and then start earning word of mouth advertising from others in the community. A neighbor is more likely to trust a gardener with a personal reference than one who drops a business card on their door step. So how do you earn that first client?
You could try the business card on the door step idea? Or you could place one direct customized advertisement on the neighborhood website. Maybe even offer a great discount or coupon to earn that first client. Because your ad is customizable you are able to pick and choose what type of ad works best and in what community. Once you've earned one referral you can use that to build a second customer. Learn more about advertising options HERE
