Marketing and Advertising Durham

How to find new customers in Durham

Marketing, advertising & sales, are three of the most important aspects of any business, whether you are based in Durham 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 Durham below) and by providing the business information that you need.
