By reading this forum, it seems that I could market my business myself. If I am just starting a new business, should I hire a marketing firm or save the extra money and try to market my business myself?
It depends on how creative you are. when I started my business, I did my own marketing. This year, I am going to hire a marketing firm to take over that task and get me into markets that I have had trouble breaking into. It also helps that this firm is one of my customers and we are working out a 'bartering' agreement.
