Why isn't my business working?

[M W]

The best marketing plan for a small business is word-of-mouth. It was always hard for me when I had a small business as I am not a natural gabber (talker). So I used one of my employees. She used to get on my nerves. That changed. She got a bunch of business for us all.

Also try something a competition. Note that there is that Salon show (it is a series) where they come in and redo the whole business. See all of the episodes. That is directly in your industry.

Try more community related public relations such as the local news, Lyons Club, Elk Lodge; also business clubs to your industry and always tap your vendors for information.

Be a go-getter.
