I started a web design service and was looking for tips to seek businesses outside my area.

I have business cards and marketing post cards to hand out to local businesses.

Should I mail info to businesses outside my area that I think need a site. Or cold call them and request to send my info via mail & email.

Any other ideas would be so helpful!

B2b is all about long term relationships. I would be getting on LinkedIn and creating content to teach people how to not get ripped off by their Web developers.

Off hand, my biggest pet peeve is websites where I have to go through 5 different drop downs in order to find their fucking menu.

I had a young graphic designer go through my website and show me all the problems like inconsistent buttons and lines that do not line up that make it look like amateur hour.

LinkedIn is a community. "cold spamming" people is like handing out business cards at a funeral. Instead, work on building relationships with people and helping them to grow their business.
