Hi All

I'm now at the stage where I need to start heavily advertising my new
handyman business.

So far it's been mainly pay out; vehicle, vehicle insurance & tax, corporate
clothing, business cards. PL Insurance etc. On a positive note I've also
earned a few quid, so not too bad.

The choices I see so far are;

Thompson & Yellow Pages - want loads of dosh & you always appear alongside
your competitors. Only catches people who already realise that handymen
exist and are looking for one. Thompson don't have a 'Handyman' category
anyway, only 'Property Maintenance'. I'm not sure the public would think of
looking there.

Leaflet drops. Expensive to arrange for individual leaflets. Much cheaper
as an insert with the local free paper, but less effective.

Local paper advertising. Not yet finalised the costs.

Leaflets under windscreen wipers in shed carparks.

Foamboard posters on traffic light posts.

Parish magazines.

So, where would you look for a handyman if you needed one? What would
influence you?
