I'd recommend both. That's what I've done, and I've never hurt for work. The thing is, many marketers offer lots of ideas, but are unable to implement the solutions. This means that a client has to hire a marketing consultant to create a plan, and THEN hire a designer/developer/etc. to actually ...
Certainly a lead gen website would help with a strong call to action. LinkedIN would be a good source of leads as well. Dont discount using Direct Mail to get your message accross Even though it is a little costly, the most powerful way is to send your direct mail piece via FEDEX or DHL This...
