Offline Marketing- Optimizing Your Word Of Mouth Exposure
Never forget anyone you ever meet. Always have their name, mailing address, property serviced address if different, email addresses and start a program farm them encourage folks to join you on Facebook and follow your Twitter.

If you are serious about making word of mouth work each of you need to farm and organically grow your own loyal customer base! If they can’t remember your business name or even your own name and can’t find your own phone number you just become the guy they wanted to find and and they found someone else.

Don’t become the guy they liked and could never find again ! Word of mouth only works when they can find you.

service magic they are a website that most people nowadays look for contractors .they do a backround check on you ,and list everything you have and do for you . then you get leads to the people looking for what you do.contrary to what you hear the web is the way to go . once you get a hold on your name being put out then word of mouth kicks in. also push yourself like WTWC said getting out to your local police , wildlife officals ,and pest control companies will do a ton of good for you.

I used service magic for a while. At first they were bad to send junk and not qualify their leads but after I hammered out just exactly what it was we do the quality got better and I was getting great leads with a high turnover rate. Then the free inspection guys got on the bandwagon and the turnover rate went to zero. I did a little asking and realized that service magic was not screening the contractors anymore. When I signed on they wanted proof of insurance and licensing but the contractors towards the end of my time with them had neither.
