sell an ad in the corner (sponsored by yada yada), which will cost just about what you expect to rent the machine and buy blank cards with the logo on them for. Find a sponsor that is related to your thingy and let them participate somehow (low key advertising, product placement, something of that sort)

There are many types of marketing promotions that you can do and here are some of them:\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 recommend creating a website. A good and very cheap place to host it is https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ which only charges you for the amount of bandwidth you actually use. So basically, if nobody goes to your website, you won't have to pay, so in the long run, if you're not making money they won't, and if you are they will, so you can afford it.

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.

The best way is to use marketing strategies that can reach this audience directly instead of using shotgun approach. This is a very specific market, and needs specific ways to reach them. Here are examples:\n\n1. Direct mail. It is cost effective easier to target this audience through direct mail pieces rather than an ad for example at Washington Post\n\n2. Advertise in trade associations catering to animal veterinarians. These publications are what they will read so your products need to be seen in these publications\n\n3. Find out what websites they visit and you can run some text sponsorship or banner ad campaigns. Be careful to measure your ROI.\n\n4. Be visible in trade shows catering to this market. You need to be there.

Depending on your budget, the best way is to advertise.  You can see about putting up brochures at local gyms, hair salons, nail salons.  See if you can develop relationships with alternative medicine providers or yoga studious or maybe country clubs or fitness centers where you can come in once a week and do massage at their location, and give them a piece of the action.\n\nYou can also give out trial massages - free 15 minute massage and maybe give free massage to people who refer you customers.  \n\nGood luck.

As a general rule, seminars do not help me in my business, unless, there is an immediate need for the information and I can apply the information I acquire within the next couple of weeks or I am attending the seminar in order to "network" (meet business contacts).\n\nCurrently credit managment and financing my export shipment are not issues I have to deal with at this time.

Here are some ideas:\n\n1. Develop strategic partnerships with websites where your target audience goes. If you have a software for small businesses, then you may want to approach small business portals or online magazines targeting small businesses and offer a partnership deal with them. You have to address the question - what is it for me? Give potential partners a hefty commission for every sale (or if you are generous, lead) that they send your way. But monitor how the partner is marketing your product - ask them if they can include a mention of your software in their newsletters, give them banners (or leaderboards or boxes or other creatives) that they can run in their websites, give them ad sales copy that they can use, and check if they are actually doing anything to market your product.\n\n2. Create an affiliate program. Expand the strategic partnership route even further and develop your own affiliate program. There may be other websites out there that would be willing to sell your software for you in exchange for a percentage of sales. However, you would need infrastructure, and a person who could monitor the affiliate program.\n\n3. Make sure your product is listed in software review and download sites such as CNET Download.com, Tucows.com and similar websites. They are the place people go to when they need a software, and you need to be there.\n\n4. Get tech magazines (print and online) to review your software. If you get good reviews and the review is featured/published, that is a great source of free publicity for your business. \n\n5. Offer a free trial version of your software. Those who download a free trial version are more likely to buy. \n\n6. Advertise where your target market gathers. You need to be visible where your buyers are. Whether buying sponsored text links or banner advertising, measure your ROI carefully. \n\n7. Pay per click search advertising. As always, carefully track your keywords and your ROI.\n\n8. Write articles. Articles can help boost your traffic, increase your pagerank, establish yourself as an authority in the field, and get more sites to link to you. It may not be a direct way to get sales, but it can help in the long run\n\n9. Press release. While some press release services cost $650 to use, some are less than $100 and others are even free. Everytime you release a new version, land a partnership deal or something good is happening in your business, write a press release and send it around.\n\n10. Improve your conversion Getting visitors is one thing; getting them to buy your products is a whole different story.

Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible: \n\n1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.\n\n2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!\n\n3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.\n\nIf you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm \n\n4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News. My website (see my profile) accepts free press release submission (no strings attached!)\n\n5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.\n\n6. Improve your conversion. Getting visitors is one thing; getting them to buy your products is a whole different story. Read the article "10 Ways to Convert Visitors to Buyers" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/072005/conversion.htm for tips on how to improve your conversion rates.

If you are looking to use this as a form of advertising for your business, be sure it's not spam if you are going to email the newsletter. That will hurt you more than help. \n\nNow, on the up side, if you target specific prospects and customers, people interested in what you are offering, then you should get measurable results.\n\nI wish you much success.
