Default Re: Which marketing method got your first clients?
Hi Angela,

Smart thinking. Advertising and marketing can be both expensive and extremely time-consuming, so it's good to have this in front of you before you take the plunge.

My first three were (1) an old friend and (2-3) people whose RFPs I answered. Since then, it has been all RFPs and referrals.

I've made new contacts through marketing, but not new clients. But then again, once I got my hours filled, I stopped spending a lot of time on ad/mark. anyway. So that's not to say it isn't effective at all. It's something I do very little of now.
