I work for a school system and we use catering all the time for business functions.. All large businesses have to cater for corporate functions..target schools and any large business or corporation.

Businessmen are always having lunch meetings and meetings with food. That would probably be your best bet.

What kind of catering do you do?

Advertise to cater at weddings.

Talk to the chamber of commerce in your area and also the small business developement center. They will have all the marketing tools you need.

It is a little difficult to know what to target without knowing where you are and what sort of food you plan to prepare. I would say weddings are big, if you live in a decent sized town. Scools are okay, but you can't bet the bank on them because they do not have functions enough to cater to.

What I did with a small catering business I had was I called myself a Personal Chef, and basically I would cater to the wealthy in town, plus weddings. They would call me for a party or even to just deliver dinner to their family.

Definitely Maybe
Businesses definitely. You should call some local ones and give them a good deal on lunch items. That way, those companies might even use your services again.

Contact some wedding planners.

weddings, bar mitzvahs, sweet 16s, anniverseries.

Find your local church or temple, and put up flyers.

Find your local venues and do the same thing.

Also, advertise in trade magazines.

I would suggest you look at Government and Business lunches. There is no one in our area who does it well and affordably. And I for one am tired of pizza and wilted subs.

if you could get a core market of say... empty-nesters...golf courses, retirment communities...think about it, they have $$$$ and kids who they want to throw functions for..weddings, baby showers, grandkids bar/bat-mitzvahs!

Some good suggestions. An alternative is to list everyone you know and ask yourself or them what clubs, societies, associations, businesses are they connected to. Figure out which are most likely to need your services and ask your connection to put you in touch with the right person in the organisation.

If you do a good job, word should spread quickly and business development will be greatly enhanced. This doesn't mean you can stop marketing. You must be continuously on the look out for more and more opportunities.
