1) Mailing Labels - Email Signatures: Every e-mail you send out should have an automatic signature at the bottom with your name and contact info, AND information about your business product or service! Every mailing label you send out, even on bills that you are mailing to your telephone company, needs to have a business promotion that can tell everyone who handles that piece of mail something about your business.

2) Ask for referrals before you start work
After you sign up a new client, but before you start work, ask them if they would be willing to provide you with a testimonial if you can meet, or exceed, their expectations. Do not wait to you have completed the work. Prepare them in advance.
