[humanser] Give phone number when promottimg online?

[JD Townsend]

Hello:


Marketing our services is local & personal.  People will chose your services 
when they have a feel for who you are.  Offering to speak at local business, 
church, and service clubs on any mental health subject is an excellent 
exercise.  Likewise offering your services for free to local police, fire 
and hospital workers will result in getting your name and practice style out 
there.  Some folks offer a local newspaper a weekly colum that identifies 
various subjects.

To my way of thinking internet radio may get you listened to in Argentina, 
but patients will come from your neighborhood.  Personally, I would not 
visit a psychotherapist whose name I found on a flier;  it just doesn't 
sound very professional.

I often give out a telephone number that is associated with a message 
machine only, in my case a pager number.I call back from a real 'phone. 
That is the number found on my business card.  It is worth it to pay for 
nice cards and hand them out liberally.

Best of luck.

Hi listers
Keep thinking on ways to promote myself: I take chance and promote myself on 
a Psychology Internet radio station of my services, giving the radio 
station's EMail; I'm afraid to gibe phone numbers online, especially with 
the Cartel situation here in Mexico! So my question are Internet radio good 
spots to promote, and is it safe not to give, at least online, phone 
numvers? Thanks for ideas!
