The BEST strategy would be Word of mouth. This is the best form of advertising for your business - afterall, it is free.  Customers telling potential customers you are the best in the field. Or influential people endorsing your product for free. The book "Secrets of Word Of Mouth Marketing" is one of the best books to learn how to harness word of mouth, and you can read a summary here http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol154/wordofmouth.htm\n\nSome marketing tips:\n\n1. Direct mail. Prepare a well-crafted brochure and send it to your target markets in Sunnyvale. Find a vendor in your area renting mailing lists of business establishments or take the time and go over the yellow pages and get their contact information. You can read more of how to use direct marketing strategies here http://www.powerhomebiz.com/marketing/direct.htm\n\n2. Publicity. Publicity can oftentimes be more effective than advertising. Not only is it cost-effective (oftentimes you are paying for nothing), but also people are apt to remember an article about your business rather than advertising. People find a write-up or special feature about a business more credible and objective than a paid advertising. Publicity also reaches a wider audience: if you are lucky, the national media might even pick up your story. Contact an editor of your local newspaper and pitch your story. Read the article "Leverage the Power of Publicity for Your Small Business" \nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol27/leverage.htm\n\n3. Press releases. Send out press releases through your local newspapers about your business. Whether it is about your story or about a sale you are offering, press releases can be very good exposure for you. You can read more about how to harness press releases for your business here http://www.powerhomebiz.com/marketing/public%20relations.htm\n\n4. Use the Internet. The Web can be your online brochure. You can use it to refer your potential clients for more information about your business; and it could also generate clients for you directly. Some of your potential clients may be looking to the Web for a floral designer, and you need to have a strong presence there as well.\n\n5. Network. Join and be active in your local business organizations, chamber of commerce, etc. Increase your visibility in the community.

One of the most effective things you can do is ad some height to your table.  Get some large pieces of foam board and put literature, pictures, ect (information about your company) and most importantly, your company name in large letters.  Make some sort of stand for them so they stand up from the table.  This will draw people's eyes immediately to your table. Get some sort of small centerpiece (I usually use a small vase of flowers.  It has to be small because it shouldn't take away from your display.\nIf you are supplied with a table cloth, great.  If not, bring a white table cloth to drape on the table.  Then arrange business cards (lots of them) and any displays that you have on the top of the table.  Note: Always stand to the side or in front of the table.  Standing behind it sometimes looks as though you are trying to distance yourself from a possible customer, whereas standing to the side or in front of your table communicates openness.\nBest of luck.

hmm... so what is your question?\n\nif you're not lazy, here's some advice:\n1. use your imagination and once you decorate one, ask for feedback from your family/friends and finetune from there.\n2. use your brains to do the research, freest source would be from libraries, or observe the newest advertisements whenever you come across one (should be very often if you live in the city). then write down points about how you think each advertisement looks like (whether fresh, natural, too doctored, stiff, colors, etc).\n3. compare the newest advertisements with last time advertisements (should come from old magazines, old books, etc.\n\nhope this got you thinking :)

make phone calls to get business license, local paper advertising, (offer a special to the first 10 or whatever you think) put decals on your vehicle towards advertising, buy a book of professional invoices to leave with clients that have thin paper as a second copy for you to keep for your own records, grab a little filing cabinet for the clerical stuff to be filed into, have the local stationary shop create some business cards for the both of you to hand out to serious inquiries, post a few up on billboards, have a picture taken of the two of you together in your work garb to put up somewhere you see fit, establish monthly clientele where possible.

That kind of depends on what exactly you're asking. You can easily do it yourself if you know the specs (specifications) of the ad--that is, how big and what type of file they want. I think the more important question is do you have the right software and abilities. \n\nI like the Adobe Creative Suite for print ads--that's Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Many print publications will convert files for you, so technically you could even design it in Word, however chances it won't look the same in print as it did on your screen. .eps is always good, which is an adobe-specific file. \n\nThe second problem, your own talent, is on your own end!

Place an Advertisment in the local papers. College papers are great and usually cheaper. Don't lie in the ad. That is what turns people away. Be honest and show a good percentage example of earnings.
