ideas to get more clients.

Options
hiya all, Ive got my own mobile spray tanning company.
I use facebook to get most of my clients, i get about 35 a week, mainly on the thursday and friday..
I want to see if i can get 50 a week and is wondering if any1 can give me more ideas on how to get them booked in.lol
I only charge £10, and it is less if there are more than 1 persons per house hold as it is better for my fuel and time.
Anythink else any1 knows of what i can do?

    How about doing an offer on one of the group buying sites like Groupon/ KGBDeals. You could maybe do a promotional spray tan for a fiver or a party for half price etc.

    The bonus is that the good offers seem to get hundreds buying them and you're attracting new and potential repeat customers who wouldn't have heard about your business otherwise.

    Of the £10 how much is profit?

    Have you tried any other advertising? Maybe local newspapers or free magazines that get posted through doors (we get one monthly with local stuff in). Putting an advert with a voucher in the local newspaper.

    office, groups of people having them at lunchtime or afterwork. Sure you could find somewhere to put the booth.

    Have you advertised tanning parties? I've been to a few and it's a good laugh!

    advertise on gumtree, do a selling card where if you have 4 you get one free, have a refer a friend deal where if you refer a friend they get a free spray tan, spray parties (could combine with ann summers/ virgin vie parties if you know people who do similar ones). Offer discounts for local companies (i know the local bus company have a mango card and if you have it you can get discount at different things which is cheap advertising), also bus companies often do it (for round here its the gold card but there may be others around the country.)

    I did my website through vistaprint, you get 1 month free then its less than £5 a month for a basic one. You have to set it up yourself but there are step by step help/guides. I get reports to tell me how many people visit and what pages get looked at most its great.

    Same website applies for free business cards etc. They quite often do free postcards, banners etc and you just pay a few quid postage, i get loads of stuff through them but you have to avoid all the extras and may not always get the exact look you want but for free im happy with what I get
