Let the community know about your new business, even before the grand opening. Send press releases to local news outlets telling them about your new business. Continue to send press releases occasionally, informing the public about new services you offer or events you are holding.
Step 10
Talk to local business owners and community leaders about your new business. Attend chamber of commerce events and meetings. Offer to bring a cake or muffins to the event. Promote your business further by, for example, offering to provide the cake for a charity fundraiser or giving out samples on the street.
