Question 4 mobile hairdressers?

hi, im just starting out as a mobile hairdresser (struggling too)im still trying to build up my clientelle which im finding difficult, but im posting fliers and things so hopefully i will get busier. but what i wanted 2 ask really was about insurance, is there any one i should avoid and who is the cheapest, just because i cant afford to pay out tonnes every month if i only had like 1 client a week! did anyone else find it difficult starting out? xxQuestion 4 mobile hairdressers?
When i first went moblie I did what you are doing and hand delivered flyer's myself.. 10 years ago that method was very successful but when my son started school I wanted to drum up more trade.. I tried the flyer's again and it was useless.. I think people tend to look at your approach to advertising and judge your ability to do the job..


I then placed an ad in a local mag which gets delivered to everybodies door and i now have more work than I can cope with.


I will say though.. This is the worse month you could be trying to gain trade.. in my 10 year,s February is always a pants month.


If you were to place an ad, I'd plumb for end of March, April time.. I found it well worth the expense!





As for insurance.. you will need to shop around, I'd hold off until your business is taking off and then invest in your insurance.. but do get one, don't neglect it!
