Flyers every were. Ask salons, nail shops if you can post a flyer in their window.

Get post cards and print out an introductory special and ask retailers if they would place them on the counter for their customers. Offer the retailer something in return for their kindness. Something of your product. They will become a testimony for you, too.

Step out of your comfort zone & challange yourself.

Remember, they are just people, too. Talk to them like you would a friend. Approach people with sincerity and don't try to SELL them. They'll just go a runnin'. Just like you would if someonw was trying to sell you.

Just be yourself & have "conversations". Pactice and you'll get better with it.

Good Luck to YOU!

Have you thought about pay per click programs? The two biggest, I think, are Yahoo! and Google

A few free resources – check out the sources box for links:

1) Create a blog pertaining to your field

2) Use Yahoo! Local & Yahoo! Groups – Be sure to read the TOS for each one!

3) Write articles pertaining to your field and/or expertise.

Also, consider signing up for an affiliate program. These programs enable you to advertise on other's sites (your affiliates) and once a sale is made to you, your affiliates & the program are paid a commission.

I listed a few handy sites & articles relating to marketing, promotion & advertising. Here's some book titles that are relevant:

* The Complete Idiot's Guide to Marketing Basics by Sarah White
* The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing by Al Ries, Jack Trout
* Creative Advertising: Ideas and Techniques from the World's Best Campaigns by Mario Pricken
* Entrepreneur Magazine's Ultimate Small Business Marketing Guide: Over 1500 Great Marketing Tricks That Will Drive Your Business Through the Roof by James Stephenson

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Is your business local? You can sponsor a little league team or whatever.

Maje flyers, advertisments, make a website, and try putting an ad in the paper.

It's called 'advertising.' You'll want to vary your advertising depending on the type of business. Direct mail, newspaper ads, fliers... those types of things work pretty well if it's really a service you're selling. Classified ads are much cheaper and are somewhat effective for most things.

Hopefully your small business isn't Amway or Partylight or something like that. Those are really hard to advertise because they really depend on you going out and pulling people in. I don't think classified ads are going to help there.

Good luck. If you update your question with more information about what kind of business it is you'll likely get more specific suggestions. I'll check back.

Join your local chamber of commerce. They regularly run get togethers where business to business people can meet and socialize while "networking."

flyers on cars, cards would probably be too dangerous, u don't just want anybody to be callin u, so not a lot of info on flyers, but enough to get you customers
