Looks like a lower end version of any number of sites out there we have tried for manufacturing. In every case what you end up with is 100 companies fighting for a single job. Lots of places we have dealt with just use these sites as hammers to beat their current vendors with.

That being said I suppose if you're in more of a B2C rather then a B2B it may be more effective.

In a business line that would not benefit but I'm curious to know what you do currently to advertise and acquire customers?

Do you use any sales automation to follow up with customers to increase repeat business?

Other than my website's, I don't advertise directly. I do have a marketing company through my lab (for my team & individual sports photography) that handles my sales. I am involved in local business networking groups that help further development. And, there is also word of mouth.
