There are lots of techniques to attract a new customer and I've tried most of them. Your list is really great and I can see the potential in your hard work.

Step 1
Host a grand opening or open house. Invite local business owners and residents from surrounding neighborhoods. Provide refreshments, drawings for door prizes, free merchandise samples, and have plenty of business cards and company brochures on hand.

Step 2
Monitor the quality of your services and products constantly. Satisfied customers who spread the word about your business are the best source of new customers. Pay attention to pricing, customer service, product availability and prompt delivery.

Generally, when a company is trying to generate sales leads, using only one tactic is not going to work. You need to mix it up – use traditional techniques like direct mailers along with electronic tactics like sending out e-newsletters.
Here are a few tips to get those sales leads you need:

1. Buy competent leads.

This is the easiest tactic – rent a reliable prospect list. You can get a mailing list from a variety of sources, including professional organizations, trade groups, and list brokers or alumni associations. These lists give you highly qualified leads (you get to pick most of the qualifications) that you can either mail or email your marketing materials to.

2. Become an expert.

Join online forums to answer questions or give your expert advice to people in your industry. You can join Web sites that review products or that is just for opinions to up your expert credibility. You can also write articles free for industry Web sites and include a link to your Web site in your byline to drive traffic to your online store. Try to contribute to organizations, Web sites and industry journals so that you can point back to those when customers ask why they should buy from you.

3. Partner up.

By collaborating with a complementary business, you can share contacts and also share resources. This can lower your marketing costs, such as for color printing for brochures, which gives you even more flexibility to reach a bigger target market.

4. Advertise in e-newsletters.

Using electronic media is a great way to generate leads if you have a Web site. It is easy for people to read your ad, and then click on your link to check out your Web site.

5. Read the local newspaper.

By keeping up with the news, you can pinpoint businesses or individuals who might need your services. For instance, if you read a story about one of your competitors closing its doors, you know this is a great time to send out direct mail pieces on how you will fill the gap left by your competitor.

6. Attend a trade show.

Try to find a local trade show and pay to set up a booth. Trade shows are a great way to generate leads and to talk with complementary businesses about partnering, which can also increase your leads. Consumers who attend trade shows are there to find information, and you are just the person to give it to them!

Its depend upon the customer that what type of services he is looking for. How i know about this its my personal experienced. Good services and well manner things are the basic ingredients which attract the customers.

i newly launched a online website. these tips are really good to me. thanks

Start by taking a look at your current customers. Are they sports fans, retired people, parents? Determine a category or two that the majority of your customers fall into. Try to narrow it down in order to avoid wasting time and money. For example, I know that our customers at my place of business, are generally small business owners, but not all of them will benefit by our product. Before I send out 10 thousand mailers, I should narrow down this category into a subset that best fits my product.

At first glance Starbucks franchises seem to be a good target for us. There are thousands of Starbuck's employees that need to clock in and out but, upon investigation, I learn that they clock in/out using their own cash registers. They have no need for our time tracking web service.

Copywriting is a new marketing strategy which can attract customers quite easily and quickly if you are a good copywriter. But, writing advertising material is not a simple task so most of the firms hire professional copywriter for their business.

look for people who you know will be interested on your products. add some freebies and discounts for first time buyers..

The content on your web site is no different to your other sales and marketing materials ... it will not attract new customers immediately (unless you are very lucky)
