START UP A MOBILE CATERING BUSINESS
STEP4. MARKETING - ADVERTISING
Time to market and advertise your
business After lots of planning, complying with regulations and purchasing trailers
and equipment your new mobile catering business is finally up and running. Now
all you need to do is tell everybody that you're in business and that your
mobile catering services are available to any event or function organisers who
may need them.
Buying a catering trailer, parking it on your
driveway and waiting for the telephone to ring is a typical scenario for
individuals who take up mobile catering. You may know that you have just bought
the best looking catering trailer for a 50 mile radius, that you will be selling
the best products at the best prices and will be offering the best service for
miles around but nobody else will know or have ever heard of you.
Many new mobile catering businesses fail
within the first twelve months due to simply not being able to find work. The
reason they never found any work is because they couldn't see the sense in
parting with any more money for advertising their business to the right audience
namely event and function organisers. Marketing and advertising your business
will cost you some money, it's part and parcel of being in business, if you
don't advertise you won't get any work and the money you just spent on that
lovely new catering trailer or catering van would have been completely
wasted.
Hopefully we can give you a few ideas and
money saving tips to help you start promoting and advertising your new mobile
catering business. To continue reading on please use the key points navigation
