These are what you need to use in order to gain customers, without their money your sales and profits will fall. Every business will need different techniques, as some will work better than others. For instance, if you are an online only business then you will be relying heavily on social media and video marketing.

Location 


If you do decide to have a physical business space, like a shop for example then you will need to find the right location for this. The last thing you want to happen is for no customers to be able to find you. This usually happens when you are set back out of customers and clients line of sight. Common destinations include high streets and popular areas near busy transport links. Try and find somewhere like this that won’t cost you an arm and a leg each month in rent. 


Alternatively, you can run your business from the comfort of your own home. This will make it slightly harder to gain customers, however, it also means you won’t have as many outgoings.
