Marketing: Use your loaf not your bread!
In these days of ever-tightening belts is always good to know of ways we can get our businesses to known to a wider audience without having to spend our hard-earned money.
Many, of course, look and are too good to be true.
This one isn’t and it’s from what you may think an unlikely source: BT
BT Tradespace is a free forum where anyone based in, or doing business in the UK is actively encouraged to set up their stall. Not only is it free, it staffed by a bunch of people who couldn’t be more helpful.
If anyone knows of any other good low- or no-cost places we can promote our businesses, please share them here!
