Its almost launch day for my website and I've got the customer marketing side down. But I'm not sure about how to market to the businesses, my original plan was to cold call to get the first shops on there. Afterwards, hope that word of mouth could bring in more businesses. Though I know this is a bad strategy, I'm not sure how else to market to them. So what are some other ways to market to businesses and get them aware of my service. Consider trade shows to be out of the picture at this point in the game, possibly later on though.
