If you have a local business (meaning your business can only work one on one with local clients), such as a real estate business, restaurant, etc., here are some recommendations for promoting it:
– Network with businesses that you can exchange referrals with. Think of other businesses your target market might be working with and start networking with them. Once you get to know each other, you can explore how to exchange referrals and even work together to bring the best value to your clients.

– Use your web site to your most advantage. Optimize your web site, so that people looking for decorative painting services in your area can find you. You can also use pay per click services to drive potential clients to your web site.

– Think about leveraging your knowledge and experience to serve non-local clients as well. For example, a restaurant owner can publish a cookbook, that can be bought by everyone, not just people in the local community.
