you could set up a website or do an e-mail campaign. also try surveying people in the street. it really depends what audience you want to attract.

A few ideas: \n\n1) Flyers & Business Cards - Who are your customers & where do they shop (e.g. grocery, home improvement stores, etc)? Post flyers where your customers frequent.\n\n2) Advertise Locally -- Newspapers, Craigslist, Yahoo! Local\n\n3) Word of Mouth -- Offer a great service & people will talk.\n\n4) Mailers -- Send out coupons, specials, etc.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Have a good and friendly marketing staff then give them samples to give to people.  This way they will learn about the product and if they like it they will order for more. Again as per the rule of the particular country, you may have to do a clinical test with qualified medical docotors and from this point you can market your product ..but if only it works well.  What products are these you have?

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.

Some 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. You can find more information on networking here http://www.powerhomebiz.com/marketing/networking.htm\n\n6. Word of mouth. This is the best form of advertising for your business - afterall, it is free. Read "Secrets of Word Of Mouth Marketing" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol154/wordofmouth.htm

I would just do a search on food marketing.  If you are just starting out, I would have a big party and invite lots of people such as friends and family but also people like beauty shop owners or small store owners.  If you feel like being bold, try large companies too.  Tell them that you're trying to start a business and having a get together.  It may cost you a lot out of pocket, but it's a great way to advertise and let people sample your food.  Make sure you print out business cards and hand them out at your party.  Good luck!!!

Best way to approach this is to make yourself known locally. For example attend local flea markets...farm markets and even yard sales displaying and selling your products. You will get repeated customers and through word of mouth sales will pick-up. Don't be disappointed if you recieve negative results from some people...dogs have different tastes. Insure you have a contact name and phone number labeled on each product you sell. Good luck with your venture.

You have already done a bit of marketing which has also given you a bit of share. To promote more, following can be done:-\n1) U can post your ad's on sites which are most visited such as google, yahoo, hotmail, etc.\n2)You can also post ur ads on sites which deal in urban clothing\n3)You can also create a email ID by which you can send mails to your customers about the regular update.\n4)You must have segmented a market for your business, you can distribute brouchers stating your site name\n5)You can have people displaying samples of your products in a particular market, in such market you can collect information about ppl who have approached for some information and later on you can contact them.\n6)Distribute Free samples to capture new markets.\n7)You can give the names of ur site on your profile.\n\nFor that matter you could have named your sites over here also, so that people could visit them and give feedbacks\n\nI hope these would be enough, and would have answered you
