Businesses sometimes offer freebies as part of their marketing activities, to attract new customers to trail the company, or perhaps a new product. Does your company do this, or do you feel it would devalue your offerings? I do provide some free services, as I feel it adds value to my company and offers a point of difference compared to competitors. These include a dozen articles of various aspects of business, including
Competitor Research - the only way to stay one step ahead
Save Money and Use Less Paper
Handy Hints to Raise Your Profile
Top tips - work and life organised
A green audit - a look at your business through grass-tinted specs
Way of the Dragon - why some entrepreneurs succeed
As part of my training business, I also provide services for potential virtual PAs to use such as a free tele seminar and a free VA Business Start Up Guide. I would be interested to know what you think about freebies, and whether they work for your business.
