If you have decided to start your own home business, then you will be looking for ways to get your name out there and promote your business. However, because you are home-based, you don’t have any physical stores where you can promote your brand. However, there are still a few ways that you can get your company noticed by customers. 

One of the best ways to get your business out to your customers is through social media. All you need is an account on one of the big platforms and then post about your company and what you do. Show them pictures of your products or services so they can see how they look. Build a following and follow other companies that offer comparable products. You can then see how they market themselves on social media and perhaps try some marketing of your own. 

Every business needs a website, and none more so than a home-based business. You need to have a professional looking site that has all of the details about your company and what it does. You should put your contact details on the site so that your customers can get in touch with you. It can also be beneficial to have a form to request your customer's email addresses; you can then email them about the latest offers. 

If you are looking to gain contacts in the industry, or you want to find some suppliers, then a trade show can be a good place to start. At the least, you should be going along to the event with a stack of business cards, giving them to anyone who will take them. The best idea is to hire your own stall if you can. If you have the budget, make some freebies like pens or custom buttons that people can take away. It will be a little quick advertising for your company. 

One way that home businesses promote themselves is to put their company name on their vehicle. There are many ways that you can achieve this, with a body wrap sticker or just a magnetic mat the sticks to the side of the car. These are a good idea for getting local clients and customers, plus your car will often be in grocery store car parks where there are a lot of people. Be sure if you intend to do this, that the sign is large enough to be seen from a fair distance. If it is too small, people might not see it or bother to come closer to read it. You can also ask your friends and family to have one of the magnetic mats on their cars to help boost your range. 

Getting your company and your brand out there to your customers is hard for the small business. It is even harder for those based at home, but, by trying these ideas, you can quickly build up your following and customer base.
