In a more competitive arena, with greater economic concerns (in regard to spending), and better access to more user friendly DIY options, trust ability is a huge factor in the year 2024.<\/p>\n

Advertisements And Marketing Efforts With Specific Intentions To Be Recognizable<\/strong><\/p>\n

I created a short video advertisement for several months at a very popular fitness center.\u00a0 I did not (financially) receive a great return on my investment.\u00a0 My investment benefited me in another way.\u00a0 When I attended the car show I was a sponsor for, I had many more people come to visit me compared to previous years.\u00a0 It was often mentioned by the people who asked for my business card that I was recognizable in the advertisement.\u00a0 I also remember, while watching a football game, I was approached by a group of people.\u00a0 “I just want to know, are you the guy in the TV AD at Gainesville Health …?”\u00a0 It was a great reminder of the importance, even in a niche, of the value of not being obscure.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

I am offering gift cards for other local business services as a holiday promotion.\u00a0 I went to small business owners that were a little obscure in the community but had a great reputation for customer care.\u00a0 This aligns with my desire to grow with like-minded people.\u00a0 It is also an opportunity to network.<\/p>\n

With so many people posting complaints to fellow business owners about competitors undercutting them, I wanted to really emphasize doing the opposite.\u00a0 I wanted to make it a even higher priority to post content explaining (to actual customers) more in depth the difference between a $300 and $800 detail and detailing business.\u00a0 I worked on explaining what an actual detail really is, particularly the process.\u00a0 I want to spell out the consequences that people who do this already know, but people who pay businesses for detailing services do not.<\/p>\n

\"Brush-Interior-Cleaning\"<\/p>\n

I guess you can say I am a little ‘old school’ here.\u00a0 Cultivating gratitude!<\/p>\n

\"thank<\/p>\n

As some know, I really do write personalized thank you letters for most of my new clients.\u00a0 But I also made a pact with myself through each milestone or major detail to write a letter of gratitude to those that had a major impact in my life in some way.\u00a0 I consider it an exercise in mental health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
