how toa and where to advertise a business

Flowerlover had a couple of good ideas.  Here's what I did, I joined every Chamber of Commerce within 50 miles.  Every month Chambers have a mixer or party or something similar.  These events are set up specifically for members to meet and talk about their business with each other.  In fact, it's the one party where everybody attends exactly for that reason, to promote their firm.  The best part is that you can go to these mixers if you are a member or not.  Members usually attend free and non-members get charged a nominal fee--maybe $10.00.  If you go to 4 of them a month and it costs a total of $40.00 but you meet just one good client in each, that's a great deal.  If you will be in a retail business, you can sponsor the mixer and you'll have a hundred (Some more, some less) in your store all at once.\n\nThis worked for me.  Good luck.\n\nGrampy

If there are business, schools etc in your area.  Maybe advertise in the student paper, hand out flyers in your area.  Offer 20% etc to people of certain business.  Before long you'll be a regular hot spot for a cup o joe and checking email.

Advertise on Craigslist.org for free. Almost every city has a local site.\nMany newspapers offer free ads for things under $500. Another thing you can do that is cheap is to find out what local competitors are charging, make a pricelist that beats those prices and fax it to every company in the area that uses your type of business.

This really should have been spelled out in your business plan before you started your venture. But, since it's a little late for that, contact potential advertisers who would be interested in selling to your target audience. Make sure you know who your audience is, how large it is now, and what you project it to be. Be sure you have a solid plan for selling advertising space, including size of ad, cost, length of advertising run, placement on the page, etc. You also need a way for advertisers know that they are getting their money's worth. If it's a clickable ad, how are you going to track the number of times the ad was clicked?

The better business bureau would be a good place to start not only do they have businesses outside the Internet but they also have it for businesses within the Internet everyone trust them and they pick reputable places. Usually if you talk to a manager of a major business's in the area your serving and offer cash to have their employees do this they will. Another thing I have seen where with spring break is out get a few kids together pay them a few buck to put the advertisement on the windshields in a major shopping area. When I see that and don't get one I get upset...lol. sometimes I'll even stoop so low is to take one off somebodies windshield!

I think I would start by contacting local businesses which you would want to sell your product. Ask them how they get the goods they sell. If it's from a warehouse ask for the name and some contact details. I think I might try and avoid some of the big chains because they may be expecting a large quantity and a regular supply of goods.

it depends on what you are advertising if you wanted to explain delivery of the item....then transportation available would be more descriptive......but it is hard to advise correctle without knowing the rest of the text involved...

Hello Mr. CK I notice that your looking for a place to advertise well you have several options but I'm not sure you've tried these spots out before and when you try them out and still run out of luck then it will be best to pay for a site they have some very inexspensive web sites on the web that you will be able to offord. Well enough of my babbaling. here are the sites that I would recommend for now and it's just a suggestion.

Post up ads online or in the newspaper, and tell your friends about it.  Just make it known.

Probably the easiest way is to go to www.yahoo.com.au and type in the name of the business along with the city.  This is especially important if the business is in a smaller town rather than in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane.  Good luck!
