Advertising advice for small business professional?

[athomeceo]

I'll keep this answer short and sweet. SInce he never advertised, your husband's business has probably been running almost strictly on word of mouth, with maybe a few leads trickling in from the phone book listing. Word of mouth is the best type of lead, but word of mouth has moved online. Social Media is a necessary part of marketing any business. For a local business to compete with the larger companies, you have to use all the online tools: directories, search engines, opinion sites, facebook pages, profiles. That is the only way you can compete effectively and affordably. If you are not up to speed on modern business on the internet, you might frown at the thought of using facebook, etc for a legal practice. I have run into this when dealing with some of my attorney friends. The simple truth is that almost EVERY business can benefit from the proper use of online tools.
