Another idea is to compile a list of all the churches and schools in your area and send them a post card announcing your availability as a piano tuner. Not all of them are going to use you, (since most have a piano tuner already), but it is surprising how many don't have a regular tuner. Also, the school or church might not use you, but secretaries, administrators and/or the piano player also pianos that need to be tuned. Try to get a list of all the piano teachers in your area, and offer them discounts for referrals. No matter what kind of advertising you do, you have to work hard. Don't turn down any tuning at any time. If someone wants a piano tuned at 8 Am on Sunday morning, do it. If you have to drive a little further than you anticipated, do it. And the best advice I can give you, is don't be afraid to ask for help, not only on this list, but also at your chapter meeting. The more you know, the more you can help your customer, which all boils down to making more money. Good Luck Wim ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
