Default Need advice on finding clients

Hi, i will appreciate if somebody will tell me what is the best way to get clients for me. My small company is focused on eccomerce solutions and we are based in Ukraine. We made several projects for USA and UK based companies as subcontractors. Frankly speaking we did all job and USA and UK companies just sent us clients feedback. We are a bit tired of all this freelance marketplaces even that we did hundred projects at Getafreelancer and have more then 50 reviews.

So we are interesed to directly build partership with small business owners in UK. Can anybody help with good advice?

Networking / partnerships would be an avenue for you to explore.

Networking with UK businesses will give you the opportunity to meet potential clients and partners.

Partnering with a company who already has a profile in the UK will give you a client foothold.

What marketing mediums have you considered here?

What do you mean my Networking? Should i look for creative agencies and marketing consultants to build partnership with them?

Right now i'm thinking on hiring some IT sales man next year but i would be glad to consider other variants.

I attend a lot of events such as SMX, SES etc etc. It would be worth your while to spend a little and mingle with the people that attend. Not everyone who attends practices SEO either. They have a good mix of people.

From what I see of your website, you mainly deal with e-commerce stores. It might be a good idea to partner with a design house that doesn't offer e-commerce or build the stores etc etc.
