Details about what kind of business it is would be helpful.  As a generality right now though, it would be good to get the word out by way of word of mouth and flyers.  Explain why your business is worth visiting (i.e. good food, helpful to the community, etc.)

Try radio, local schools talk to music teachers about maybe hanging flyers around the school.  If your business is downtown try something unusual as maybe some previous students showing their talents outside your studio advertising the biz

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 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!!!

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!

you should try myspace.. they do alot of networking and business intros on there.. great to get yr small business out in the open. the only thing though is that u have to request friends in order to be able to post ads on their pages.. but its a fun and good way to get it done quickly

Several ways, but here's a couple:\n\n1.  Call and speak to the business owner to set up an appointment to introduce your service/products.  Suggest ways that you can be of service to them.  Send follow up letter thanking them for their time and confirming your appointment.\n\n2.  Send information and then follow up with a phone call asking if they received your information and that you would like to set up an appointment.  Send a letter thanking them for talking with you and confirming the appointment.  \n\nIf they are not interested still send a letter thanking them for their time and periodically, send them a "touching base" letter or post card.\n\nYou never know.  At some point they may decide to use your service/ products.\n\nBest of Luck to YOU!

Check out your competition. Find out what they charge, who their preferred suppliers are, etc. Do they do anything in-house or outsource?\n\nAlso, find out if they're all really busy. If they are, then there's enough room in the market for one more. (Heck, one might even mentor you if there's more than enough business to go around.) But if they're struggling to find business, you might want to look elsewhere.

I have seen groups solicite in their web site. If you have a small but loyal fan base they can really help out. \nOffer them "exclusives", access at a performance or bounus tracks or something. If you don't have a manager ... maybe you need to get one to keep the business side going while you create.

Go to the Yahoo! main page, click on the link at the bottom of the page, "Advertise with Us." There is a lot of information and it takes some studying to understand it, so set aside some time for that purpose.\n\nBest of success.
