Make new business cards. Find subtle ways to advertise on social media. How to increase clients, advertise, SELL THEM. Deliver at lunch break after work. Always be in stock. Always have good quality. Offer and advertise referral bonus. Side note: Don’t smoke in car and carry a sealed, smell-proof container in trunk.
