How did you find your first customer?

[freelancermaria]

A few days ago, I spoke with my friend about how she found her first customer as a small business and first-time business owner. She shared that her first customer was actually her boss. She offered her product for free, and her boss enjoyed it so much that he became a regular customer and even recommended it to his staff. How did you find your first customer?

I find my first customer directly in the mall where my milk tea business is installed there. There were many of them during the first day opening. Some of them become my regular customer.

I had already started making clothes for people at home even before I setup the business formally. The clientele base was inherited from mom though who was in the business at a time.
