You may have read my thread about me starting a chauffeuring/executive car service website.
The website is almost complete and I am acquiring drivers on a freelance basis.
Next BIG thing is marketing. I already have some clients/corporate accounts but NO WHERE NEAR ENOUGH to give my business a fastlane status.
So I wanted to reach out to the US market and offer my companies services. We offer executive car service (technically a minicab service but the cars are nicer and the drivers are more professional) along with chauffeuring services. Now my question to you guys in the US is, what form of marketing would attract your attention so such business in another country which may be of use to you?
I've been studying copywriting so I hope to write up a good pitch for e-mail marketing. However, I was also thinking of using the social networking site Linked In to communicate with directors/executives of US based companies. Also thought to cold call as its pretty cheap to get a line which allows you to make calls to the US.
I'd love to hear from all you guys especially those who own businesses in the US in order to get an insight of how you would feel about someone calling/emailing you from the UK or sending you a message on Linked-In.
Banners on relevant sites is also an option on the cards but need to tread carefully in the beginning as funds are limited.
All feedback will be highly appreciated.
