buy out the complete space on the first page of leading local news paper. let the firs place be complete blank except for u store name xyz printed along with logo.....then buy out half of the second or last page and then advertise saying "what could be more buzzing news than xyz comming up in your city"? i think u could rephrase my words. this is just an idea. so instaed of scattering ur money by advrtsing in different ways when u sharply focus this way it will have the greates impact. and in a day all ppl would come to know that xyz exists and it opens. u not only create brand awareness by doing s but also u create brand image - surprising ppl. this is not myy craetive idea. nestle did the same when it launched its chocolate in india. one day and every body came to know what NESTLE is.

Prices can be helpful when you're looking around online for a place to go. Any specials that you have going on would be good to have on there. You should link to a map website that can give customers driving directions, and give ways to contact you.\nmaybe a message board? It could start a community that likes to hang out at your place, and you would also get feedback.

It sounds like you need customers.  Good luck.

choose online retailer... if this is a true start up company you'll go through so many problem solving episodes.  Once u handle the online business and get it going, branching out in retail locations seems a good next step to expand.

I would suggest you spread the word to people about your website and radio show. You may pick up some speaking engagements from these two mediums.

How about incentives. sales, price cuts for select products jsut to get people in the door. How about a special opening for preferred clients?\n\nGood luck!

Be confident in what you sell first. Keep the product infront of you one whole, stare at it and ask yourself what all you would like to know and get the answer for it. Great a client as soon as they open the door. Dress well. Best of luck.

Make a list of companies that may be interested to reach your audience and advertises to similar websites.\n\nGet their contact person (you can try sending an email first, without sounding spammy). Submit your proposal -- e.g. instead of spending X amount of dollars advertising, you can reach X number of users by simply donating prizes.\n\nIn our case for example given that we are an online publisher for home business entrepreneurs, we get donations from book publishers who give us their newly published books for free that we give away to our subscribers. One of the big publishers send us regularly 10 copies of each title -- and it's because we are reaching an audience that they want. \n\nSo we had to create a Book Store page that features the new titles that come out and review their books. It's a perfect tit-and-tat arrangement that has worked for several years now, and more publishers are coming on board and giving us books.

Ideally, what you need to do is think of yourself as a salesman.  Know as much about the business before going in as you can, so you can speak knowledgeably.\n\nRemember, in the back of their mind, the most important question is, 'What's in it for me?'  But, the answer to that is almost always more complex than $$.  Unless your designs are a runaway hit, they can't expect a huge cash influx, anyway.  What you offer (hopefully) is something to complement the salon experience for their customers.  Something that matches their customer's style.  \n\nAND, ideally, your work will visually enhance the decor of the salon, as well!  This may actually be your biggest hurdle; or, if you can creatively overcome it, your biggest strength!  How will your fashions be displayed in their space?  Have some ideas before you go in, but don't be afraid to ask the owner/manager if he/she has any ideas on how your creations could enhance the visual experience for their customers.\n\nI tried to cram a lot of thought into a quickly-typed response; feel free to contact me directly if you'd like to converse more.  Good luck!

I have a few e-books and websites that I will provide to you for free.  I also have a list of about 700 wholesalers that would probably help you in starting your online business.\n\nOne word of advice though, don't go into debt when starting your online venture.  There's a lot of competition out there :)\n\nE-mail me admin@gotalkmoney.com for the list :)

I would first talk to people who have similar interests and websites, but not the same thing to offer. You could suggest that you both share links from one site to the other (s/he features yours, and you theirs). I would obviously talk to people who get lots of hits or have successful sites (and may not cost you a dime if they feel they have a good possibility of gaining profit from it). Doing this with someone in the same situation as yourself may help some, but it will be minimal - all relative to the traffic, of course. There are usually local papers and fliers where you can place ads for free, and that are distributed via snail mail, in Sunday News, etc.  There is always the option of mainstream advertisement, and local ads on television. If these suggestions aren't good for you, then I hope I at least got some of your creative juices flowing in a new direction, and you find something that works! Take care.

I think the best way to start is to first determine what your product or service is.  once you have determined this, find out who your target market is.  What type of people will purchase this prodct or service.  Once you have figured this out you must get in front of those people by provding advertising and banners on other websites that people that fit your target market will hit.  One of the most important things about an eBusiness is having a website that does not look like it's home grown.  It should be professional and easy to use.  I worked with a company that specializes in startup companies called ScienStream.  They might be able to help you out, you can check out their website at www.scienstream.com/index.php

Add your business's details to any local websites that have a local business directory section.\n\nAlso knock together a basic webpage which describes:\n- What your business does\n- Where it's located\n- How people requiring your services can get in touch\n\nTo this webpage, add a webring code from webring.com and join webrings for your local area that allow local businesses to join the ring.\nThe website will allow you to advertise a hell of a lot more impressively than an old fashioned newspaper advert, and for a hell of a lot less money + people virtually expect to find a website for most businesses these days (it doesn't have to be a fancy Ebay / Amazon / Walmart.com style affair... as long as it let's potential customers know you exist, what you do, where to find you, etc).\n\nTake out a classified advert in the local newspaper with your business name + phone number + the web address too:\neg:\n"Deck Cleaning & Staining Service: Contact <your name> on <phone number> or visit <company web address> for more details".\nbelow you'll find a link for one I did for my Dad's shop behind his back 'cos he's the sort of person when you suggest making a website for a business automatically thinks Amazon.com / Walmart.com style affair, and that it has to be selling something "Unique" when, as I already said it doesn't have to be as long as it let's potential customers know you exist, what you do, where to find you, etc.

Alot of a business depends on the wether or not a product is wanted. If it is on a larger scale basis then you could try contacting some smaller stores to work as a middle-man for you. For something smaller scale you might want to go to yahoo web site builder and setup a web page that will help you sell; but you'd have to be willing to ship overseas. Alot of a business is just knowing the right people.
