The Small Business tips today discuss how to find customers.
- Chamber
of Commerce: Introducing your business at your Chamber of Commerce will
give you a start in connecting with other small businesses in your
area. Additionally, ask for a link on your Chamber's website to yours
about your new business opening. Use the support and organization in
your favor to find customers in your area who are passionate about the
small business cause.
- Networking: Use your friends, family
members, and business contacts to your advantage. Talk to them about
your new business, and ask if there are any contacts they know that you
can network with. Don't forget about social networking online as well!
- Competition:
As silly as it sounds, some of the best places to find your customers

and what their customers are dissatisfied with. Use that to your
advantage when starting out on your next marketing campaign.
