If your business operates in a particular locality tell everyone around to patronize your business but be careful not to be too invasive and respect people’s opinions.

This is one place where you have to put your interpersonal skills to use. Even if you can’t tell people in person, call them up to tell them.

3. Advertise on Social Media

It also saves you the stress of repeating the same thing to everyone who asks as you could put up what your business is about and send automated replies to answer general questions.

4. Give out Freebies

Everyone loves free things. Giving out freebies is one great way of attracting customers to your businesses. For example, some businesses provide free wifi which is accessible to customers while they shop or are patronizing their businesses.

If you run a makeover business, you could give out free nail stickers to customers who patronize your salon. Find whatever you can give to customers which wouldn’t significantly affect your business profit.
