    You need to keep looking for new ways to market your product and services. Many businesses stick with 2 or 3 types of method, and think that’s all they need to do – they just sit back, relax and hope that these techniques alone will pay off. Alas, it’s not enough to hope that a couple of ads here and there will propel your product and make you rich - it’s not going to happen.

    To be successful, you need to keep plugging away using ads, publications and inventing new ways to satisfy your customers. It’s like life-long learning – it never stops, so just accept it. It’s less stressful to do that and you will achieve more.

    There are an infinite number of ways to market a business. Here, for example, are some additional ways to maximise your marketing program:

    • Thank customers for their business. A Thank You card or compliments slip with every purchase, is a nice touch, and people tend to go where they are appreciated.
    • Get more referrals. Spend time talking to anyone, help them out (even if you make no profit from the deal) as they will remember. They may know someone that could use your services.
    • Ensure your marketing is attractive. Often marketing can pull better if you simply improve the look of an ad, upgrading a website, or changing fonts of marketing communications etc. Did you know that the best dressed consultants get paid two to five times as much as the average ones.
    • Success comes from listening to what people want – then providing that differently.
