I have  owned restaurants, carpet cleaning, water damage and now a Stone and tile business. I have advertised in high end home magazines, TV and Radio, yellow pages,<div>direct mail and so on. With radio and TV it has to be continuous (repeat) over and over. It has to be tied to other marketing so that people are constantly being exposed to your name. It&#39;s a lot of money in the pocket of the sales rep. The best results, put your money into your website. Work your mailing list of past customers every month. Get out of your chair and continuously visit flooring store, fabricators, join groups that are in contact with the customers that you need.</div>
