I was wondering if anyone could help give me some tips on getting more business. Up till now my business has been moderately successful (pays the bills) off of just word of mouth and I don't have a store front so I don't get casual walk ins. I'd like to start doing more sales work but I'm not sure how to go about doing it or what's practical. Should I send emails to businesses, call around, walk door to door and hand out flyers, etc?? I always hear about "putting in bids on jobs" but I'm not sure who to contact to be able to put in a bid ANY help would be greatly appreciated!! I'm just a home business now that would like to expand to be able to move into my own shop some day.
