"THE BEST WAY" is a subjective term to who "YOU" are and and/or your company. What works for one, will not necissarily work for another. The absolute best way to promote a small business online is to NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY. Throwing your money at PayPerClick ads may not be the answer. You should work with a consultant that specilizes in working with small businesses online and customize your approach. A good "round" marketing plan will consist of some pay services, some free submittals, addressing issues with customer paths, content relativity to optimize for searches online, and most importantly, align what you are doing offline in the real world to work "with" what you are doing online. All of this needs to be taken into account. Then design a 3 month plan towards a 6 month goals. The nature of an online site and how things can change so dramtically over 3 - 6 months you do not want to plan too far ahead. So make a 3 month plan, then in 3 months address the results, tweak your plan to achieve your 6 month goal, then also at the time, create a new goal for another 3 months out. This takes strategy.\n\nSorry I could not give you a "simple" answer,... but if it we're simple, everyone would know how.

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.

You would do better to directly contact prospects currently advertising using other media and radio stations. They are the lowest hanging fruit since they already understand the benefit/value of broadcast advertising.\n\nFind out when their current campaign gets reviewed and be sure to follow up a month before then with your offering.\n\nSorry to avoid the question but this practice has served me well for years in the business.

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!

Pricing:\nYou need to figure out what your break-even revenues are i.e. how many drinks should you sell to cover all your expenses. \nFrom the break even revenues then, figure out how many units you need to move i.e. how many of X units do I have to sell to make the break even revenues of $Y dollars. \n\nThe break even price per unit you come up with will be the bottom end of your pricing strategy. Then do a little leg work and see what your local competitors are selling per unti and under cut them. \n\nYou will then be able advertise your grand open as having the cheapest drinks within a xx mile radius. That should draw a lot of people to the opening and hopefully you can make up on volume moved.\n\nIf you use break even, you will be able to hold that low price for longer provided your costs don't change significantly. As they change, then increase price either to another promotional pricing based on the same reasoning or to match competition or to the recommended retail price.\n\nEmployees:\nYou should pay at/above minimum wage for servers. A manager will be apid as negotiated btw the 2 of you. If this is your first restaurant business, you can work with a manager to help you understand the business esp. if you have no prior industry experience.

Yay! Finally a question i can answer. There is no easy way to learn breakdance unless you have a teacher or someone who can breakdance to help you. The easiest move to me, is probaly the toprock or the 6 step--but those moves probaly aren't gonna impress anyone. If you're looking for a move that has that "Wow!" factor, then the easiest move is called a baby freeze. When I started breaking it took me 5 minutes to get that move--no kidding. Even though it may seem easy, there are harder moves so breakdancing is no walk in the park. But I suggest you check out http://www.bboy.org/ it's a really good site where you can learn. Good luck :D

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.

I think Interbrand http://www.interbrand.com and Brandflow http://www.brandflow.at or BBDO http://www.bbdo.de are the best companies.

Try meebo.com and ebuddy.com... both very good. I like meebo.com better because it is free of advertisments, whereas you get bombarded by them on ebuddy.
