Wealthyman

On a practical level, marketing is something that u might be doing wrong or not much, but without knowing the details, its difficult to give any advice.

Some practical suggestions

1. Have you got a website and are u listed in Google Local and other local search engines for the specific keywords for your business. --- very important.

2. Offer first few sessions for free or atleast with discount with no strings attached. Make sure that they are the best even though you are not being paid for it. Even if they don't buy the service, stay polite and ask for feedback to improve on the service. Then politely ask if they can refer you some business even if they don't need it and give them your card.

These are only 2 point, but should make a difference.

I ll get back to you with more, but tell me what are u doing so far?

Thanks for the response.

Im listed in google maps here in New York City. Im on Merchant Circle, Yelp, Local Dog Walker, and I post ads on Craigslist every morning.

Ive also placed a stack of cards in 10 local boutique pet stores.

Yet, our google analytics data reveals that I only get an average of 2 views per day. WOW! :)

I dont necessarily think its my site copy ( though it may be) because of my low traffic/conversion rate.

I want this company to be among the best and well known in the city. I know its possible.

Thank you in advance for helping me figure this out.

I cant wait for your response.

Oh. In my ads, I mention that we will waive the $49 consultation fee. Hoping this will entice the reader.
