Posted: Mar 14, 2006 10:03 AM	Moving to new area looking for marketing ideas Hello. I'm moving my spray foam business to a new area. The new town has a population of 3200 and has a lot of smaller surrounding towns. A lot of my customers will be ranchers. I have called a couple area newspapers and they are going to do an article about my business with a picture and eveything. I'm going to go down main street of these towns and hand out cards and flyers to all the business's. I'm renting a little storage type of a building on the main "drag" in town to store foam and things (I basically work out of my trailor) and am going to hang a large sign on it. Am I missing something? Does anyone else have any kind of ideas? I want to do things right from the get go. Thanks.

Number one rule when dealing with ranchers "never leave a gate open when it was closed when you got there, Never leave a gate open when livestock is nearby, and always leave a gate open when you found it open" Well you probably already know that but I have heard more complaints about that stuff than just about anything else.

Moving to new area looking for marketing ideas

Hello. I'm moving my spray foam business to a new area. The new town has a population of 3200 and has a lot of smaller surrounding towns. A lot of my customers will be ranchers. I have called a couple area newspapers and they are going to do an article about my business with a picture and eveything. I'm going to go down main street of these towns and hand out cards and flyers to all the business's. I'm renting a little storage type of a building on the main "drag" in town to store foam and things (I basically work out of my trailor) and am going to hang a large sign on it.

Am I missing something? Does anyone else have any kind of ideas? I want to do things right from the get go.

Thanks.
