People on their own spread the word around when they hear of good service. There is not much work either in approaching your past clients in fact in a majority of the cases the marketing is done by the clients themselves. They want to share the positive experiences. Your clients must also know that you want them to refer your services to their friends and acquaintances.

Your strategy must involve mentioning to your clients all the services you provide, this helps to maximize your efforts.
