Welding and fabrication is an industry that we definitely cannot do without. After all, buildings will always be made or repaired, and architectural constructions will always be built.

As long as there are buildings, there is a need for welding and fabrication businesses. And no matter how bad the economy, there will always be someone who needs something built or repaired.

Even when buildings aren't being made, there's always repair and maintenance work to fall back on.

You can actually take advantage of the recession and get your welding equipment and even your workers at cheaper rates. By having less welding business overhead, you might be able to offer your clients better deals than your competitors. Business is all about making a smart deal and this is definitely the time to make good deals.

So if you want to get started with a welding fabrication business, there has never been a better time.

• Tip #1: Guarantee Your Work...nobody guarantees their work in this industry. At least, they don't advertise it. It's a value added that will get you the job.
• Tip #2: Dress and Work Clean...nothing's worse than a dirty guy showing up with a dirty truck, and leaving the work site dirty. Or, nothings worse than going to a dirty sloppy shop. Yeah, I know, it's welding. But you have to go the extra mile in business for new and repeat business to show up consistently.

• Tip #4: Ask For Referrals...send a letter or put a blurb in your newsletter (yes, you should have a little newsletter) that you would appreciate and even reward for referrals.
• Tip #5: Testimonials...always include testimonials in your marketing material, whether it's an advertisement, or website.
• Tip #6: Show Up...always be on time or early.
