Use Business Directories to Promote my graphic design business ?

[graphic designer]

I'd like to find some new business directories that are free to add my freelance graphic design business. I am listed in yellow pages and numerous free ones but are there any others that are effective ?

thank you

well besides business directories are you doing social media? facebook twitter myspace? what about freelance sites? and the whole so tedious Craigslist?

Dmoz is the best directory but it is extremely difficult to get in there.

How do you expect a fellow entrepreneur to hire you to make him a website when you can´t even write properly ?

Hello Graphic designer,

Freelance sites are hell, full of spammy offerers who send fake portfolios and charge pennys an hour for the crappiest work you can possibly imagine. Business directories are not really business generators... they are not a part of most business purchase decisions, specially when it comes to design.

You will need to build yourself a reputation, walk the PRs way, in design there is no substitute.

At VMA, we are focused on strategic alignment, interface design and information architecture for websites. We outsource most of our design work. But it is nevertheless part of the product we ultimately deliver to our customers. So it forms part of our supply chain which is managed with fierce caution. This way we do sell design and we have been quite successful at doing it with tens of websites already built and receiving several awards from different authorities recognizing the quality of our work.

People look up to us for great website design, yet not a single one of us can draw a penguin on illustrator. Why does it happen? Simple: Reputation and authority. Delivering quality consistently and being restless in your effort to improve your product ever further, and finding ways for people to get to see it and enjoy it.

My advice: Be creative, be different. Do not put yourself in the shelf, stand out! And get your targeted segment to speak about it and know where you are the best.

see for your business , i think you need to follow the marketiing rule of "B2C" that is business to end user....

i dont think a website can help you in great deal as far as marketing is concerned ( some people might raise eyes here , though its my personal opinion even being a owner of software firm) but one thing is sure a website can give you a face with which you and your work can be recognised + people from ouside will come to know about you....

may be you can follow some sites in which you can register under certain service providing categories ..also there are number of companys like justdial.com( i dont know its there at u r place but its very popular and helpful for business like yours.)

you can post on different classifieds free and paid but first let yourself know about all the facts regarding it like number of users visiting and their client list and services......

best wishes.
