Marketing is often a second thought when starting your own tax prep business; when the truth is, tax advertising should be the first thing you consider when constructing the foundation for a successful startup. You can be the best tax preparer, EA, or CPA in the country and be able to do taxes in your sleep, but that does not translate to a successful tax practice without successful marketing tax services and strategies to get customers in your door!  The key to tax business marketing is not just to attract more customers initially, but also to retain them and keep them coming back tax season after tax season.
