Moving and Marketing question - CA
We are moving to another County on June 1st and I am Just wondering if any of you have moved your residence to another County or State, and if you have, how long did it take to rev up your business again. Were you able to keep your same contacts or did you have to start over again? I have been a member of this board for awhile but don't often post. I would appreciate any feedback.

No time at all for me.
Due to the fact that I had a web presence, my clients saw that I had moved to AZ and they started calling me! In no time at all I was busy, busy, busy! Of course that was 7 years ago. Things are differen t now!

Hi Ellen!
I relocated same State, different county almost 2 years ago.
First of all, remember to notify SOS of change of address via certified mail.
Secondly, my client base did change. I moved from the East Bay Area (Oakland-San Francisco -- Alameda County) to the Greater Sacramento Area, specifically Rocklin. Of course, I notified all my clients of the move. Most continue calling, others not. For example, I used to do quite a bit of work with LSI. Now, they say my fees are too high ... even though my fees haven't changed. Take into account the notary base in the region you're moving to. If it's saturated, you're more apt to have some lower-priced notaries vying for the work. On this site alone, there are 24 of us within 10 miles of me.
Lastly, as I've mentioned on NotRot before, I'm always marketing. So, guess you can say I'm always trying to "rev up" my business.
Wish you all the best in your new location!
