Hi Everyone,
I am trying to build my client base for my outfitting company. I have been a professional guide now for 14 years. What do think is the best way to get the attention of new clients? I am always looking for advice and appreciate all the information in advance. You can check out my webpage www.munnbrosoutdoors.ca
Thanks,
Adam Munn

Over the many years I've been hunting across this country, I have used outfitters a few times. I don't generally look at ads except to get a relative idea of who is who in the area I am wanting to hunt. I then contact and ask for references. Honesty and hard work is absolutely your BEST advertisements. Old men like me tend to chat. If your services are below standard, us old folks will tend to have many long time friends that we chat to A LOT. And they all have friends as well. Get my drift? Same goes for above par services. Word of mouth is absolutely the BEST advertisement one can have in that business.

I'll bite:
- at 14 years you should have an established RETURN client base. If not, why not?
- to get new clients you have to get the word out, if you have no return clients, the word is out in their social/internet circles
- do you attend hunting/fishing shows?
- I just jumped to another site which has lots of outfitter reviews, you aren't there

The advice from my last post worked great, helping me get 7 new clients with 5 of them rebooking for the following year. I am looking to get 16-20 new clients for bear hunting specifically, so I do not have to depend on working for other outfitters for part of the year. Some of the advice I been getting is amazing and things that I have not ever thought of.
