Yvonne has a classic problem. Here is what our members do: Any meetings are
held at either the client's office or if she is a member of her chamber of
commerce, they will most likely let her use their board room, or another
entity's board room/community room. Sometimes meeting in a restaurant for
breakfast or lunch works also.
We have a home secretarial service called Assistingu.com. They joined
several organizations in town that would benefit them the most and then
attended things to get their name out there. A leads group, service club or
the Chamber of Commerce are good places for the Home based business to go.
There is a lot of free and low cost advertising opportunities in those
groups.
Hope this helps,
Leigh
