    Great idea for a town with no mobile. Set your prices high but give discounts for first time customers. Start with friends and family. Words of mouth is best in small town

    Plus one on raysanni post ill add that also be open minded to all customers request, use a general plan unless requested for a more in depth, also try to be eco-friendly when you can since your out west where water. Is restricted at times lastly once your established branch out to your closes neighboring towns......just some ideas for the stew

    Great advice from everybody. One more good tip is to start conversation with people you encounter everyday, the store clerk, the insurance office, the hair stylist, the barber, these people are hundreds of people a day they can be helpful in getting word out. Never do work for free at least get hourly rate. Get used to taking about your work to everybody so you can get used to taking with people.

    Yea , no haters here. And no question is treated as "dumb".
    Most times I have a question I don't even have to ask it. A search finds it's been asked before.
