have the funds to place in ad in the phone book? ( like me )

You cannot afford not be in the phone book!Start Small $300 should get you stared with a good add in your local book.That is only 1-2 jobs at the lowest rates.Advertising is a necessary evil.If I was not in the local books I couldn't make it.Good Luck!

well.advertise by starting flyers that have pull tags with your business name,phone number, and address.get business cards and got to the colorado trapping convention.maybe get a table their and hand out business cards.create a pamplet or a catalog.and when u start make your prices cheap.maybe start off doing it for free.

I agree Vinke. I offer free services to the owner of the local Farm Supply here in town on his farm. I can't tell you how many refferals they give me.

Tables at trapping conventions are preaching to the choir. No business there unless you are running a sideline bait and supply business like Mr Jameson and others.
Now trapping conventions are a must for the many networking opportunities. I also value the state convention for keeping up with the "other" side of the house if you know what I mean.

No freebies here unless you are the right kind of people. I don't scratch backs unless mine gets scratched too. Finding those people though requires the right kind of go getter attitude to find.
