Thanks again Ian, you see the thing with my brand is the ability to do any kind of design so I would ideally like to market myself to all walks of like (which I know is near impossible) but I am keeping my branding to a generic look and feel of my company.

Saying that I think it is very valuable advice and I will most certainly start looking in that direction if I don't have a huge amount of success doing it this way.

Very well said and I agree completely, I am quite fascinated with the whole viral thing, but I think if you are not a huge well known corporation it would be a bit tricky to get your video bringing in the business (but still fascinating nonetheless)

The only thing about the face to face, door to door part, its all about getting that opportunity which we did cover on earlier but all in all this was a very helpful thread - thanks to everyone.

For me - Word of mouth and references seems to work better. Never tried some offline marketing

Thanks Wiz, and I completely agree with that but you always have to start somewhere before word of mouth and references can start working for you.
