    Marketing Advice

    I suppose you don't need to use your real name on there, and there are accounts with business names, instead of personal names. But for ultimate trustworthiness, I would go with real name.

    How beneficial is LinkedIn?

    Agreed - the ones that saw a homeless guy, employed him as their CEO and now have 5 speedboats with his kids name on? ;)

    How beneficial is LinkedIn?

    LinkedIn really works for me. I post statuses on there a few times a day and have had a lot of clients through it. I know you mention the 'bragging posts' but I won an small business award last year, shared it on Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter. By the Monday (awards was Friday) I had 5...

    Struggling with Customers

    Speak to existing clients and ask them to review your service; this will help you make improvements if needed and if they are positive in their feedback you have some case studies or testimonials you can put together. Watch out for typos and grammar - this is an immediate turnoff for potential...

You just need to take the time to connect with the right people and share the right stuff. Noticed you mentioned blogs: If you're not sure...

    Re: starting a new service - advice for buyers/sellers of businesses

    AS long as there are a few smart ones then go ahead! :) Surely if you have already been asked / offered money for the service then it's an obvious answer... as there is already a need for it.

    Best practice for sending an email to many (50 or so) BCC recipients?

    I use mailchimp and swear by it - very reasonably priced and good reports too!

    How often do you go Networking?

    At the beginning (5 years ago) when I set up - 3-4 times a week, I was getting my face everywhere and seeing what worked. Now I have one group I go to every meeting (every other week) which works for me, I then drop in to the other groups I used to frequent regularly, 1-4 times a year so they...

    Growing a digital agency?

    As others have suggested, build up a network of freelancers. We are content writers and work with lots of agencies as their 'web content writers' and bloggers. As far as client is aware we work for them - and that works for all parties :)

    Re: starting a new service - advice for buyers/sellers of businesses

    I think it's a great idea - and as people have said, your opinion is respected / you are a man in the know. The question is if people are coming here for free advice, will they want to call you and pay for that service? And not just want, but could they afford to?

    How much helpful is one to one email marketing?

    Again - I would be very wary of GDPR, but if you are fine with that then go for it. I have a newsletter that I send out to prospect clients and it works well for me in building a relationship :)

    I came up with the exact same without even looking at @fisicx reply; car park management car park security private car park management private car park security These seem like the obvious - if you're doing different areas then maybe 'areas' added on the end. Then if it's ideal for holidays...

    Stuck at square one

    This should definitely ring bells that this is not something that will work going forward if you can't agree at this early stage. Sorry!

    Homeless

    I think what you are doing is a great thing - however, and speaking from experience as a volunteer of a homeless charity; check what they need. Everyone thinks they need toothbrushes and toothpaste, but actually this is just one more thing to carry around and often (from experience) they don't...
