Help Marketing Virtual Offices

[GBCone]

Hello Young Entrepreneur Members!

I just became a member and felt that there was no better way to get marketing advice then directly from my target market. Just to give you a bit of background, I recently started as an online marketing promoter for a company called Global Business Centers. They offer virtual offices for entrepreneurs and small businesses and they had a very minimal web presence before I started.

The problem is, I have recently found that the majority of people starting a new business have no idea about what a virtual office is, but they would be the people who would best benefit from the services. How would you recommend getting the word out about what a virtual office is? I have built a more dynamic website for Global Business Centers in hopes that they can turn the site from a static sales tool, to more of a dynamic informational resource for entrepreneurs (don’t worry Young Entrepreneur I am not trying to compete with you!).

Honestly I would just love to get any feedback about what you guys think would be a good way to promote knowledge of what virtual offices are without trying to push the service onto our customers. Please feel free to visit the website and send me your comments. I know rules are that you cannot post urls, but I am sure you can google it.

I would appreciate any feedback (negative or positive) and tell me what you would like to see on the site if you were an entrepreneur interested in a virtual office.

I appreciate the help and I look forward to many engaging posts in the future. Any feedback on the site can be private messaged to me so we don’t spam the forums.

Thanks again,

Craig

Craig the best way for you to reach your target market in a non-spamming manner is through social networking sites designed for entrepreneurs. That would be a virtual goldmine. This place is good too but it's only a forum and posting ads costs $5. I run a social network for entrepreneurs that just launched a week ago (only 8 members) . but if you go there (see avatar), you'll see what I'm talking about. Those type of sites are the best platform for reaching your customers.
