You should never discard the power of the customers that you already have. Not only will keeping your current customers satisfied, increase the chances of them coming back again, it also improves the chances of them recommending your business to those that they know. When working on your small business plan keep this important information in mind when reviewing your advertising costs.
Are you looking to market your business to the general public, or do you have a targeted market in mind?
