You're ready to do business. Now you need customers. It's time to launch those marketing efforts you defined in your business plan!

• Prepare your sales literature, such as brochures, flyers and displays.
• Advertise in appropriate media, such as the Yellow Pages, newspapers, press releases, radio and/or television spots, on the Internet, via direct mail, etc.
• Join your local Chamber of Commerce - Chambers offer avenues for networking and can help promote awareness of your enterprise in the local community.
• Don't forget the power of "word of mouth." Call everyone you know to inform them you are in business. Ask them to help spread the word.
