Marketing, advertising & sales, are three of the most important aspects of any business, whether you are based in Cumbria or anywhere else in the word!
Without customers, there is no income, and therefore no business! However, there is plenty that you can do (and without spending a fortune) to make sure that your business has the best chance of success.
You will need to think about design, print, marketing materials, marketing strategy, advertising, how to find customers and how to keep them. This site is designed to help by highlighting the companies locally who can assist with your planning (see list of firms in Cumbria below) and by providing the business information that you need.
If so, your logo, company details and link to your site could be here!
If you are based in in Cumbria or offer a product or service which could help existing local businesses and start-ups, we would love you to help you reach them. Our aim is to increase the chances of every new business's success by highlighting the help that is available in the area.
