Try Microsoft Live Office. You can build a website for free for a limited time, but if you move up to the $30 month it's much better. Start with free & see how it goes. I'm currently building a website there & while it's a bit of a struggle I'm sticking with it.

I would do a Yahoo store, and pay for Yahoo advertising, to get the word out that you exist.\n\nThey are CHEAPER than an Ebay store, and your site will look more professional!\n\nHere is the link:\nhttp://smallbusiness.yahoo.com

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.

Business is all about visibility. The more you are visible, the more business you have. I presume that you know that this is the fundemental rule behind advertising. \n\nNow... for your business... I think you are targetting small scale customers (or customers within a small locality). So trying to list your business in a google search or such enterprise site might be a waste of money. \n\nThe question is how will you then market your business. You have to take an active role in promoting the business. It is self initiative. How will others know about your business if you don't tell. A few ways that you should improve your sell is... \n1. Attach a signature in all your mails with your website URL. Not just tradeall.in Make it the full like eg: http://tradeall.in\n2. Make sure your website is available 24x7. I checked your website and got a MYSQL error. This will give a negative effect for your business. For this, I suggest you should host your website with a reliable external ISP. You might need to pay some money. Remember.. There could be people who provide service for cheap cost. If you pay peanuts you will get monkeys. \n3. Your namecard/businesscard should print your website address. \n4. Try to get an advertisement through the mobile service providers. It can be as simple as a banner outside their office or having a small advertisement printed in their brochure. [You can even offer them that you will take the brochure print charges for these companies in a particular location.. a win-win deal\n5. Last but not the least... the most effective advertisement is the satisfied customer. If your staff is going to deal with your customer in an unpleasant way, be sure the customer will never refer another one. See the success of website 'Google'. With no advertisement they became the market leader. The reason is short and simple. Satisfied customers.

I say you should start on the internet first. You can sell your goods on ebay or amazon.(you have to pay a small fee)Also you can hand out your business cards to people and make fliers. I mean it may sound small but you have to start from somewhere. I think this would be good to get your name out. I hope this can help you. Good luck with everything.

Try a few of these methods and watch your sales soar! \n1.   Launch a Web site. Web sites provide your company with worldwide exposure and give your customers convenient access to your services and products.  \n  \n2.   Host a grand opening or open house. Invite local business owners and residents from surrounding neighborhoods. Provide refreshments, drawings for door prizes, free merchandise samples, and have plenty of business cards and company brochures on hand.  \n  \n3.   Monitor the quality of your services and products constantly. Satisfied customers who spread the word about your business are the best source of new customers. Pay attention to pricing, customer service, product availability and prompt delivery.  \n  \n4.   Explore various types of traditional advertising methods such as classified ads, yellow page ads, television and radio spots, and display ads in magazines and on other Web sites. Go with what meets your budget and best reaches your target group.  \n  \n5.   Support a local charity by sponsoring a fundraising event such as a food drive, toy drive or walkathon. Arrange for a formal presentation of your donation with cameras at the ready and try to get a local newspaper to publish the photograph.  \n  \n6.   Distribute fliers and business cards door to door, place them under car windshield wipers and tack them to local apartment, college and community center bulletin boards.  \n  \n7.   Maintain a visible presence within your industry. Participate in trade shows, attend community events and offer to speak on your area of expertise at seminars.

Most of your customers would be local, or need a place local to where you are to store their possesions if they are outside the area.\n\nThe best way is with newspapers and the phone book.  If your on a busy street, make sure you have a sign that gets noticed.  Any local advertising, such as high school football games or yearbooks, if you can go for it some radio spots or late night tv commercials.  Local newspapers, county papers, and don't forget the auto trade or RV magazines and maybe those free local deli publications for various purposes or those mailer coupon people in your area.  \n\nAdvertising is a cost of doing business, and you need to have a budget as part of your overhead and consideration for what rent you charge.  As a local business owner, check out your local chamber of commerce.  If you can afford a website, contact me.  (ok, maybe uncalled for).\n\nAlso, if you have other friends or aquaintences in the business, ask them what they do.  Sponsor a little league team.  Check out those business card people you see that distribute them in restaurants.  Find out what works best for you.\n\nI'm sure you already know not to limit your customers to people but also other businesses, like seasonal ones, or flea markets that need you kind of service, but I'm sure there are many more.
