Building an image is the most important step before thinking of proceeding in any marketing plan, starting of guidelines for your service, product or/and brand will insure that the effect of your campaign will last longer and have a bigger effect on you audience, client, potential clients...etc.

First step should be branding, setting the bar for high quality reference and quality.

Second step will be approaching your potential clients where they can be found by building a matrix of your own depending on your product/service and your target client based on geography and interests, and talk their language.

Always remember that social media is a tool to initiates contacts rather than closing a deal, so make sure your approach will be far from direct to close a deal, instead, concentrate on building your audience and reputation and interact with them.

All that is start up, and from their you might take it where ever it suits the business and audience.

Through popular search engines such as Google,Yahoo, Bing or Yelp.

Use local free classified ads and community site such as Gumtree or Tripadviser which ever is suitable to the industry.

One of the best ways is to use facebook. First because its free easy and we can target as much people as we want. Second trying to know which sites have the most vists and are the most popular and also try to put our ads there. Finally all this is related to the target audience.

Dear Dina, Thanks for asking query. Please make a cheap and active website. Recently i have used a combination of website developer plus content writer for my friends business,i am dubai but we outsourced to India for low cost. Same company is doing SEO and giving report monthly. So you pay monthly and see what are results , then decide to increase , decrease or make it better. Sample website you can see is www.persianpetrochemicals.com and i can connect that company to you if you wish. You can then handle directly. Most important part is to use professional people, invest as low as possible, evaluate online response, improve it and have a live website. Generally companies make a website and keep it as dead website, just waiting for goodnews(inquiries). You can generate inquiries, then you have to meet the clients if in same country. also i would suggest to make network of lead generators or agents to increase your marketing approach. Video of your work and presenting yourself on website will generate interest in clients. I am approachable on email aamirazmi for any free opinion if my advice helps you. Cheers
