What is going to be your customer base? Are you working with certain general contractors for construction residential or commercial or is most of your work service either commercial or residential?

You are going to decide what is the top priority and market to them. One of the best marketing tools is your two feet. Don't sit on a computer all day hoping someone will stumble across your web site. Get out into your territory and sell your company directly to the client. If you want construction go meet the contractors and get on their bidders list. Stop at construction sites and see if you could bid their next project. Stop in at local businesses and meet the owner or manager remember they could be residential customers. Talk with other trades to see if they could use you on a project where they need a licensed electrician. You hand out a thousand cards between now and the end of the month and you will have a very good chance of being busy next month.

Chamber of commerce ? Are you fn kidding me ? They work against working people.
I'll bet no one here has anything to do with those scumbags.

The local chamber is a little different from the National chamber. We have ben members from day one had the ribbon cutting with our picture in the paper. We joined for the networking . Monthly coffees and evening socials was a chance to meet other business owners. We also do al the work on the chamber building.
