My wife wants to start working as a private chef and deliver fully cooked meals to clients. We live in an area that does have quite a bit of reasonably affluent folks so there is money here.

I would like to crowd-source how to get this off the ground. Marketing advice is probably 99% of any potential lift off.

The main question is: How do you get a first client?

Seriously, how do you even go about this? Hang a flier? That seems weak. I'd call people but I don't know who to call. Newspaper ads are dead on arrival (maybe not?). Getting a booth at a farmer's market might work but what the hell do you put out on the table? Samples?

It's sourcing that first client that, I think, everything hangs on. Do one and you can do two. Do two and you can do four. That sort of thing.

She asked me to ask y'all for help on how to do this and many of you have seen pics of the food she cooks so you know she ain't just blowing smoke up her own ass on this.
