Tom,
<p>Here are some things I did at the beginning.
<br>1. Bought a gross of those little plastic card holders and left
one with 25 cards at any kind of store I happened to be near. My
card has <b>PIANO TUNER</b> in bold print .3" tall at the top of the card.
I went through 14 gross before I was satisfied with my income.
<br>2. Buy magnetic signs for the doors of your vehicle. A
pair will cost less than $200 and they will pay for themselves in 2-3 weeks.
I still get 3-4 calls a week off my signs.
<br>3. If you live where new subdivisions are being built or where residents
move in and out frequently. Get in touch with "Welcome Wagon".
A cheap free gift or discount will get you in to see a lot of new customers.
<br>4. Track down all the piano teachers in your area. Offer them a discount
to be recommended to their students.
<p>Gotta go. Get back to you later.
