It is sad that I have to admit I am old enough to have worked through a time where there was no social media, that advertising was purely television, radio and newspapers (maybe a poster in a shop window).
Starting my own business on 2005 facebook was just building, online computer booking systems were not as trusted as a straight forward phone call and leaving sometimes many voicemails back and forth to get a client scheduled in. Marketing was Purely location and good word of mouth.
So I am very proud to say that word of mouth has kept me in business for so long, building a brilliant and loyal clientele base where ever ive worked and what ever time I could work...
But you know even keeping up with the fast evolving technology around us, (self taught along the way!!), HUMANS are what my business is all about and the connection that gets made is priceless. No bot will replace that.
Ai is starting to help me as a solo business yet I still can't help wondering if ME, MYSELF & I is all that is still simply required.
