2. Have some business cards printed. Keep them clear and concise ? and don't forget the back.

5. Collect testimonials and case studies from happy customers. Use them to provide evidence of how good you are.

6. Run seminars and workshops for your target audience.

7. Find out more about Public Relations. PR is free, and you get more exposure than if you advertise.

8. Use good quality paper for your business stationery ? back to perceptions again.

9. Write an executive summary about your business. Use it as the basis for leaflets, an email attachment, an appendix to letters or anywhere else where you need to define what you do as part of your marketing activity.

10. Get out and network. Go to networking events and free seminars to meet others who might be able to help your business. You can also network on line through various discussion groups and networking sites. Don't forget to see how you can help others, don't just be a taker.
