I do wedding alterations, bride, bmaid, MOB, MOG, flower girl, prom etc...formal wear. As the season winds down, so is work. What have others done to find more work? I have always relied on word of mouth, has anyone found a successful source on the internet for finding clients? Craigslist, PACC, Costumer's Guild.....Which would you avoid? I attend the January Bridal Fair, and have gone to several shops, Bridal and non Bridal, I chat people up where ever I go.
I also do riding leathers and some custom work. I am usu too busy w/ Bridal to take on a lot of custom work....anyway back to work....gown to finish...

I do primarily alterations and keep about as busy as I lilke with just word of mouth. However, I do advertise in the local paper on a weekly basis, just a small ad to keep my name out there. (It is quite reasonably priced). Also I make posters on my computer and post on local bulletin boards. If the board is accessible to the prospective client use the format with the little tear off strips at the bottom. Also just leaving your business cards around helps too - especially at fabric stores. Hope this helps.
