Leveraging Personal Networks for Client Acquisition

Starting a business can be daunting, especially when operating with a limited budget for marketing. One effective strategy is to tap into personal networks to attract initial clients. Engaging family and friends can help spread the word, as they may know potential customers or provide valuable introductions. Establishing this foundational connection often proves to be more effective than investing in paid advertising before the business is fully established.
