I have never met my numeric goals as far as how many clients I get in one season. Every year the number increases, but I am still reaching to obtain 300 clients...and I'm still a ways off. I just seem to get mental blocks when I attempt to look at various ways to market myself and get the word out. At this time, I use an email blast; which seems to be working well. I am able to reach the previous year clients with no problem (using postcards via snail mail was becoming less effective since a lot of people move during the course of the year) and this allows for easy fowarding to friends. The #1 idea I am toying around is, trying to get a couple of companies that will advertise my company when they hand out w-2's...and be somewhat be their sponsored tax company per se'. Something like what H&R Block already has. I just have no idea where to start Although the growth in my business can be looked at as a success, I have yet to word it that way.
