    My best marketing. Create an environment where  old, current and by reputation,  the public and even my competitors  push friends and acquaintances to our firm. This is free marketing other than the service, hard work and commitment all former clients received.
    Longevity in market place helps too. But longevity is doing the above as well.

    Another tip
    When you find yourself in restaurant and see a client or a trade partner/s such as a decorator, interior designer, builder. Ask the waiter to put their bill on yours. The response is overwhelming good will. They go out of their way to  nice things to others.  
    The cost of the meal is nothing when compared to paid ads.
