Hi

Am a newbie, am in the process of starting up my own company. i have been working full time and with 3 kids that proved a bit difficult have been looking into working from home for a while, but a few weeks ago i was laid off from my job.

So I have decided to try to get my business up and running as there just doesnt seem to be any part time jobs around.

I am starting an Ironing Service, I have my first client (a friend) but am finding getting any other bookings a bit difficult I have put posters up everywhere I go (newsagents, Gyms, play areas) have done leaflet drops about 1000 so far have put an ad in our local free paper. My main target I think is busy mums who want to spend there free time with there family not doing hours of ironing so this is where I have mainly targeted the leaflets I have delivered have been to mainly up-market estates where the percentage of full time workers is high

Not sure if I am expecting too much too soon or if I should think about some other form of advertising

I have set up a website

I would welcome any suggestions especially from anyone who has set up an ironing service before

Thanks

Deb
