Greetings!!!

You know, marketing and publicity can be a never-ending maze of trials and errors with a whole lot of money wasted in the process. You may not be able to afford this as a business owner. Why not take matters into your own hands to establish your following through some free publicity techniques.

This is an extensive subject that I'm going to thoroughly enjoy delving into with you, so much so that I created a sub-topic inside of the marketing section of my personal chef site. It's called 'Free Publicity'. We're going to look at all of the relevant ways to get your name out there, on and off line.

Shoot me your questions and comments and I'll get to them at my earliest.

By the way...
I've been getting questions on how to price your services. I'll be tackling this topic shortly.

Bon Appetite!

FOOD TIPS:
----------------------------

Always keep up with your ag- businesses. You'll find that you'll know what should be on sale before the markets do and you can plan your offerings and map out your menus accordingly.
[This is especially important for those clients who are on fixed incomes and are in need of suggestions that can save on their budgets.]
