Sometimes it's funny how things work. I own a medium size Physical Therapy business in Brooklyn and had posted a question on Yahoo Answers about finding a relatively cheap form of advertising that would produce new customers and new business. I posted the question about 9 months ago. I was contacted by the owner of a website called telephone tech talk.com that claimed to have the answer for me. I was told that new customers would be knocking on my door because this website had people using the site that were looking for businesses like mine. They claimed to have direct market concentration with a huge following of communication workers. It sounded a little quirky, but I was aware that there are tons of people that worked for all kinds of communications companies throughout New York, that could be my customers. It really was a no brainer for the cost of $100 that I paid for 2 years of advertising. I have to say that I've seen about 15 new customers within a 2 month period. It has more than paid for itself. Check out the website and see if your type of business is listed on their professional services pages and send them an email.
