When you initially open a shop one of the hardest tasks is building a customer base and keeping those customers. If you are lucky enough to open in an exclusive area with heavy walk-in traffic, then you dont have to rush to build up your customers.

Hopefully, you already planned your marketing strategy when you laid out your business plan. If not, here is an idea to help you along the way.
