Do you have a business that was once growing but seems to be at a standstill now?
If so then you probably want to find out how you can get your business going with new clients right?
Well, we all know that clients are the backbone of any business and without them – well there’s no money to be made!
So to help you out here’s seven quick and creative ways that will help you attract new clients right now!
Quick & Creative Way # 1: Re-evaluate Your Marketing Plan
Every year I think it should be a requirement to take a look at your marketing plan with a new pair of eyes.
Now for online businesses, you may want to re-evaluate your plan every six months (personally I do mine’s ever quarter).
Things you may want to ask yourself include…
- What are you doing now? and
- How can you revamp those marketing tools and employ some new ones?
This will help you quickly catch things that you need to change so that you can begin to immediately address them and then implement them.
Quick & Creative Way # 2: Get To ‘Tweeting’ On Twitter
Learn how to become a social networking junkie by using one of my favorite social networking platforms – Twitter.
Twitter has become an invaluable tool for those who want to take their business to the next level online.
The best part is that Twitter is free! And if you’re creative enough with your tweets, you can get immediate access to clients!
Now… if for some crazy reason you don’t have a twitter account or heaven’s forbid… you don’t know how to tweet – here’s an article I wrote a while back that will show you what to do.
(Geez – you really don’t have a Twitter account??? Are you serious!!!)
Quick & Creative Way # 3: Advertise On Facebook
Use your personal Facebook page to post links from your website and other promotional links that friends and family can view and share.
Also if you don’t have one, create a fan page for your business and encourage current clients to sign up and tune in for special information or offers that they won’t find anywhere else.
Of course you can go the traditional route of creating Facebook Ads but heck… this is cheaper and takes less time and of course money!
Again – be real and speak to people and you will see immediate results from your post (when done correctly).
Quick & Creative Way # 4: Use Some Offline Tools
Just because you are operating an online business, doesn’t mean that your local market won’t also benefit.
In fact with local clients, you can give them a personal touch that online clients may not be able to take advantage of!
Some offline tools that you can use include direct marketing which could be flyers, pens, menus or even brochures.
Put your thinking cap on and get really create with it! I know this all sounds “old school” but trust me when I say that this stuff still works!

Quick & Creative Way # 5: Do Some Video Marketing
People love to watch informative videos online so why not do a mini infomercial!
You can take what you know and turn it into a visual presentation that immediately gives new clients a picture of who you are and what you do.
Quick & Creative Way # 6: Create A Press Release
Are you about to offer a new service or product?
Try creating a press release! Believe it or not, this is a great way to attract new clients to your business!
Use a press release service and be sure that your content is SEO optimized.
Quick & Creative Way # 7: Create Some Links On Your Website
There are always links on the first page because that is the one that every visitor is introduced to first.
But, other pages are visited as well and most people won’t navigate their way back to the homepage to click on a link they saw there.
So you can increase your client base by making it easier for them to take advantage of your offers!
These are just a few ways that will help you get the creative juices flowing… and clients rolling in!
