There's a store in the middle of our town that's been NMD Pink Shoes For Sale , in quick succession: a soft furnishings retailer, a record and CD store, a lighting shop, a pet store, and yet another soft furnishings store. It's currently a coffee shop.
I think the store's finally settled into its niche. Each time I pass it people are lined up to buy coffee and cake, so all appears well.
Why didn't the previous tenants make a success of the store? Probably because the easiest way to go broke is to sell something that no one wants. Not enough people in our area wanted to buy soft furnishings and pets.

Here are five lazy ways to market your business.
=> 1. Get a Web site
This is the ultimate lazy way. Put up a Web site, or get someone to do it for you. Then forget about it. You won't hear much for around six months, but once you get listed on the search engines, you'll start getting business.
You can help the process along, by promoting your site NMD Grey Shoes For Sale , and by updating it regularly, but once it's up, and you're listed on the search engines, you can be as lazy as you like.
=> 2. Make three phone calls a day
How long does it take to make three phone calls? You could probably make them in ten minutes.
Who will you call? Potential clients, suppliers, people who are in the same business you're in --- it doesn't matter who you call. The idea is that you're shaking the trees. Once you start communicating NMD White Shoes For Sale , you'll move your business along.
In any one work week, that's a total of 15 marketing-related calls. I don't care who you are or what you do, but if you make 15 marketing-related calls a week for a few months you're going to kick your business along.
To avoid getting trapped in voice-mail hell, you can use the ultra-lazy person's alternative ? email. However, do make your messages professional. That is, send an email message that's just like a snail mail message NMD Black Shoes For Sale , with all your contact details. Be polite and courteous, and include your full name, your business name, and your complete address, as well as your phone and fax number.
=> 3. Contact one client a day
Call, email or fax one client a day. You're not touting for business Adidas NMD Pink For Sale , you're just touching base. This person has done you the kindness of doing business with you in the past. Call and find how he or she is.
If you're a writer, this means send out one letter, query or proposal a day, every week day to your previous clients: that is, editors who've bought from you in the past.
If you're just starting out as a writer, then send one query a day to a market you'd like to sell to.
=> 4. Give something away
"Free" is an incentive. And it works. What can you give people to remind them that you're still in business Adidas NMD Red For Sale , and that you're good at what you do?
Give away something that's useful, whether it's a pen, a T shirt, a bookmark --- or an hour of your time to mentor a beginner.
Be creative with your freebies!

This is the ultimate lazy way to work, as well as to market. If you love what you do, it's not work.
Make a list of marketing-related activities that are fun for you. Again Adidas NMD Grey For Sale , be creative about this. No one is holding a gun to your head and saying: "THIS is the way you market." There are hundreds of marketing activities you could engage in. It's your business, so find a way that's fun.

Maybe you like to interact with others. So why not start a business breakfast club in your area? Or an online club?
