PPC Advertising
This kind of advertising is very famous on the internet. PPC – Pay per click advertisements are very good source of getting traffic on your website. You can give your advertisements to some highly traffic websites and you have to pay for every click you get from that web page. Thousands of people will visit that page and all of them will have a glance at your web site and some interested prospective customers will come to your web site to visit you and have a look at your service plans. You can get a crowd from an advertisement but for that you may have to pay a handsome amount.

However though, providing great pre-sales service is definitely a must. If your customers want to sell phone card or hotel deals online, they need the sales person to convince that they will get premium level of service. This includes but not limited to their websites will always be up and available hence their business will always be operational. Otherwise you will waste budget for driving customers to your website but are not convinced with your level of service.
