Perk Up Your Home Based Accounting Services Through Customized Business Cards
According to Allen Bostrom, President of Universal Accounting Center, 85% of small businesses need accounting experts. He added that most small businesses fail within the first five years because of lack of accounting expertise. With the wide opportunity in the accounting field, Mr. Bostrom stressed that marketing yourself and your home based accounting services is necessary. In one of his training modules, he discussed the importance of business cards in marketing. Many online printing companies offer customized business cards at affordable prices. You can conveniently order and pay online through their sites. Some offer proofs of your work prior to the final printing with no upfront payment. Below are some of Mr. Bostrom’s tips on how to perk up your home based business to increase your client base through business cards.
3 Tips to Perk Up Home Based Accounting Services to Increase Customers
1. Relatives, Neighbors and Friends. Majority of your interaction are with these people. Find time to give them your business cards. You will never know when some friend of a friend or a friend of a relative will need your service. Referrals through these people are one way of getting more clients.
2. Community businesses. The laundry shop in your area or the gasoline station nearby would need accounting expertise to take care of their books and taxes. Why not start a small chat and find the opportunity of handing out your customized business cards just in case they need your services.
3. Business contacts. You will at one point in time need the services of other businesses, right? The plumber, one of the stores at a mall or a carpenter. Initiate some small talk and find an opportunity of telling them about your services and hand them your card.
With these tips, you will be able to get a minimum of 3 clients. They will prefer you over the accountants of big companies who charges $75 – $250 per hour. A $30-$60 per hour client would not be a bad idea. And having 3 clients will make you get more clients, charge more and with your performance get a repeat sale.
