Our next door neighbours just moved in from a different part of the world and they need tips and ideas on promoting their bakery but they dont want to spend lots money. Do you have any favourite websites to promote your businesses here in which you find really work for you?

Hello Chat Mom,

I guess the best place to promote a business will be on expat-blog itself. We will release the Business Directory section in the coming days, and you can tell your friend to register his business under that section.

@Nor_Amir: Could you please post in lower caps please. Thanks you in advance for your kind comprehension.

Regards

Internet is important to promote, but it is not the only way. Your friends can simply send an "opening invitation party" to all people living nearby. I had a teashop in Geneva and at the very beginning, I simply invited people I knew.

Hello ChatMom!

Like Yud has said, your friend may register his company in the Business Directory.

Good luck,
Harmonie.

A friend of mine used radio to promote his business, wasn't overly expensive and it really helped him get known around town in a short space of time.
