Key Takeaways

✦

Utilize door hangers strategically by targeting specific neighborhoods, especially around existing clients, and deliver them multiple times for better impact.

✦

For new businesses, focus on getting a Google Business Profile and diligently follow all guidelines to avoid losing this crucial online presence.

✦

Avoid spending money on paid Facebook or Google ads; instead, leverage free community Facebook groups by posting consistently (e.g., once a week) to generate leads.

✦

A basic, one-page website is sufficient for directing traffic and collecting contact information; an elaborate site isn't necessary, especially when starting out.

✦

Begin advertising immediately, particularly in Facebook groups, if you are a new business to build name recognition and overcome initial obscurity.

✦

Consider using CRM software like Artha Pro for managing customers and operations, and explore credit card processing solutions that offer cost-effective transaction fees.
