How to find new customers: 1. Your customers are out there, you just have to take the first step by going out the front door to get them. Don’t just stay in your four walls. 2. Give them a reason to come to you. Know the styles and dresses that your customers will want and have them on display in your store. 3. Go where the customers will be.
