    Facebook would probably work to promote your offline service biz.

    My wife has a Facebook page for her hair-styling / bride make-up service and gets a lot of
    messages via Facebook, e-mail or phone calls from new /potential clients.

    If it works for her biz, it should work for yours too. She makes regular updates to her Facebook page, with pics, so you should probably do the same.

        As with any physical business, build a subscriber list of people that are within your geographic area that would come to your business.

        There are lots of ways of doing that. Use the search function because this exact question has be asked many times over.

        Whatever methods you find work best, focus on giving your subscribers loads of value so they recognize and trust your business.

        "Geo targeting" is a term you ought to learn for your marketing. Study it and create ways to segment your market. If you don't do that, you will be wasting a lot of your marketing effort.

        The very best to you,

        Steve

      I love singapore...!

      To the topic, yes you probably want to use a 'specific targeting' lead source like google adwords or facebook ad to target your exact target market.

      Start with facebook and google

    Looks like you are building a nice website there. Awesome!.. and congratulations on expanding your local business.

    What I would recommend you to do, to grow the revenue to your website online here, is learn the right internet marketing education - and then take a lot of consistent action with everything.

    You should also learn about SEO - Search Engine Optimization.

    It would be easier, and faster, to Rank High in the search engines - especially Google - for Local Keywords.

    For example; when someone goes to Google.com and types "best massage services in _______ , Singapore" - you want your website to show up in the first 5 search results.

    Of course, you want to show up in the first spot - but being within the first 5 is fine as well.

    This will get you free organic traffic. But you can also try Google Adwords, if you have a budget for Paid Traffic. And if you do, you should also try Facebook PPC.

    You can also implement Social Media Marketing. Learn how to Brand your website and your business all over the social networks!

    Get a Twitter account, a LinkedIn account, a Google+ account, a Facebook Fan Page, and you can even get an Instagram account - for your Local Business.

    If you have some more money to spend - you can hire a Social Media Marketing Expert to build and maintain these.

    Just invest in your internet marketing education, and you will have a better understanding on what you should do to build up the revenue to your brand new website here

    Best of luck with everything!!

    You have to give me my "Thanks" first before I answer the question.



    Kidding of course. Promote yourself as a traveling massage business. Lot's of people want a massage every week, in fact right now.... but usually cant because of time and LIFE. Most just don't have the time to squeeze in their schedule. And if they DO have time, they're usually spending that time sleeping... or having sex.

      Promote your services as being "better than sex" LOL.
      Hello Randall

      I have to take issue with some of the advice you are giving to youngshape.

      If he promotes his service as being "better than sex" he might get hauled up for false advertising!

      Cheers

      Lindy
