    Computer business question

    My dad owns a computer business, in which i work for, and I'm looking to help him go into other fields of computers to help him make more cash, because he doesn't have time to research it. He owns a mac computer company that does networks, fixes, sells computers, sells equipment, does some low level printing, some low level marketing for other business', and does video editing work. Any ideas on how he could add more things to the business?

    Jon,

    Sounds like you have quite a few things to market for your Dad's business. I think you may want to start promoting the services that you already offer instead of expanding them at this point.

    Try various advertising and make sure you have an effective brochure and business card!

    Good luck!

    He is already "marketing" those services- thanks for the idea, and I understand what your saying, so I will talk to him about it, but anymore ideas?

    I dunno, it sounds like your dad's business has all of the computer categories covered, aside from web design.

    I would look into some local marketing ideas to increase sales. Direct mail is all I can think of at the moment. If your dad does strictly mac, and another similiar business does strictly pc, maybe a partnership or affiliation of some kind?
