Read superglide ken's advice on $200 k per year, this is great advice and so very true. You will go through a handful of marketing campaigns and advertising methods till you become succesful. The least expensive advertising or the highest return/ yield is the way to go. For instance, my business is run 80% word of mouth referrals. This is the slowest way to build a business, however the customers are always happy that I am there, they never complain about workmanship, they pay whatever I tell them, within ethical parameters, and they always pass out my card, in turn advertising for me. Good luck!

That's a pile of questions.
first maybe you need to sit down and figure out what you want to do. commerical residential etc. If both how much of eash. What type of customer are you going after? you need to get a grip on what you can spend on startup equipment, marketing, supplies. then you can determine what your overhead is so you can then figure what you need a sq. ft. or hour or room howver you are going to setup how you are going to charge your potential client. Make sence??? good luck for now. I am no expert on this matter. |
