Customers via website?

[JHallamuk]

Hi people,

First time on this forum :armada34: ' HI to all '

I have a question to ask to all those who run their own "web media / designing" companies.

Do you get much leads, work via your website? Do you advertise? Much marketing online or off?

Would like to know peoples answers,

thank you,

regards,
JHallam

JHallam,
Welcome to UK webmaster world. I have a web design company amongst other websites, all my leads come via my website www.velnetdesigns.co.uk , sometimes I even sell leads to other companies.
I also advertise in yellow pages but all I get from yellow page is junk mails

We don't advertise we believe on creating brand awareness, word of mouth and word of mouse. :-)

[temi]

I use mainly the word of mouse part of your marketing mix, its worked wonders for my business
My new year resolution will be to add brand awareness to the mix next year

[etechsupport]

My best wishes to you! Our new year resolution will be somewhat behavioral marketing approach and location based service.

"behavioral marketing approach and location based service" that sound rather scientific, can you explain this in a layman's language please. Does it mean you target your ad based on interest expressed by you client?
Thanks

You obviously having been reading the goverments new pension/retirement proposal OWG, you at still a young chap, you still have at least 22 year to go

[OldWelshGuy]

22 years? your having a giraffe ain't ya

Seriously, I will never retire, I will just do other things for fun that earn money (if that makes sense). I enjoy working too much to retire,

You are 5 years older than me, like you I am planning a sort of retirement from intense internet stuff within the next 3 years. There is a lot more one can do
