--create a website for it showing all the information about rates, rooms, grounds, services, local attractions and such.  (Look at other websites for hotels in your area to get an idea of how to do yours better!)  Get it on the internet search engines.\n\n--once you have a website, find websites for the region where the hotel is located (like the Chamber of Commerce, the city visitor's buero site, any travel sites) and get your information included on their site with a link to your website.\n\n--have brochures made up and distribute them to places travelers generally stop -- two examples:  local travel offices and the highway rest stops usually have a rack for holding brochures. \n\nI'd need to know more about your hotel to offer other ideas.  Some suggestions might include:\n\n-- create special attraction weekends.  Hold certain events to draw people to stay at the hotel and make them annual so people return each year.  For one example, every third weekend in June is a luau complete with grass skirts and hawaian food.  (Do you have large lawn space or patio space?) \n\n--Does it have a restaurant?  Does it have a large gathering room?  If so, you could hold New Years eve parties.  People like to party where they can sleep so they don't have to drink and drive.  \n\nIf you provide more information about your hotel, I can come up with lots of ideas.

There are various ways to market a medical billing business. The most important thing is networking. You must know potential doctors who may need your help and services. Check out the doctors that you and your family use. Introduce your business to them. Ask for referrals to other doctors they know who may need your services. Note, however, that networking takes time to bear fruit and you must be patient and continue to working on getting the word out about your business.\n\nYou can also send out mailings to doctors in your area. Send a letter with a brochure detailing the services that you offer. Immediately follow up your mailings with calls. If you can, set up a meeting with potential clients so you can personally present to them your business.\n\nAnother strategy is to try “cold calling” on the doctors, although you may not be able to talk with the doctor given their usual tight schedules. Instead, you can simply leave your business card and marketing materials to the receptionists. If the clinic or doctor’s office does not allow for soliciting, it would be best if you could just send out that particular office with a direct mailing piece.

Business is all about visibility. The more you are visible, the more business you have. I presume that you know that this is the fundemental rule behind advertising. \n\nNow... for your business... I think you are targetting small scale customers (or customers within a small locality). So trying to list your business in a google search or such enterprise site might be a waste of money. \n\nThe question is how will you then market your business. You have to take an active role in promoting the business. It is self initiative. How will others know about your business if you don't tell. A few ways that you should improve your sell is... \n1. Attach a signature in all your mails with your website URL. Not just tradeall.in Make it the full like eg: http://tradeall.in\n2. Make sure your website is available 24x7. I checked your website and got a MYSQL error. This will give a negative effect for your business. For this, I suggest you should host your website with a reliable external ISP. You might need to pay some money. Remember.. There could be people who provide service for cheap cost. If you pay peanuts you will get monkeys. \n3. Your namecard/businesscard should print your website address. \n4. Try to get an advertisement through the mobile service providers. It can be as simple as a banner outside their office or having a small advertisement printed in their brochure. [You can even offer them that you will take the brochure print charges for these companies in a particular location.. a win-win deal\n5. Last but not the least... the most effective advertisement is the satisfied customer. If your staff is going to deal with your customer in an unpleasant way, be sure the customer will never refer another one. See the success of website 'Google'. With no advertisement they became the market leader. The reason is short and simple. Satisfied customers.

The most effective advertising dollar is spent on a Yellow Pages ad, but that is not really a short term solution (unless your book is just about to come out and you can get in before the deadline).\n\nProbably next best would be direct mail, or get something  out in the weekly flyer bundle (if you are looking for residential work).  \n\nAfter that, nothing beats pounding the pavement.  You would likely want to target business with that type of service, so go around and introduce yourself, leave a flyer and a business card.  You could also talk to places that manage commercial properties, as convincing one of them to use your service could result in multiple properties. \n\nGood Luck!

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

It depend on your target.\nIf it is for tourist, then you need to have advertising in tourist web sites, travelling magazines, brochure to travel agency, billboard in airport etc.\nIf that is for local people, it depend on short term (day lease), long term (yearly lease) or those moving truck.\nShort term usually target to those young new drivers. Hand out advertising material around schools, colleges to students.\nLong term probably need to advertising in mass media such as newspaper, tv, radio etc.

I suggest that you put up a web site and register it with all major search engines. DO NOT spam people with advertisements in their e-mail box. I refuse to purchase any item from any company that does so, and so do a lot of others. Ask customers to refer their friends. Word of mouth is the best advertisement. This has been proven by Waffle House, which has only ONE ad in the entire nation, and it's not even their ad....it's a hotel that offers free breakfast at Waffle House.

Not much to go on. Depends on the kind of business.\nYou could offer something free or low cost to tourists. Give out maps of tourist areas. Offer something that they might need or want while touring. Or try turning your business into something of a tourist attraction itself. Make it into a unique/niche store or have something unusual there on the premises.\nApart from that, I'd need more info.

why not call the Hotel, tell them the situation and ask them....that should take all of maybe 5min to do and you get your answer quicker then asking a bunch of people on yahoo

First, analyze your neighborhood, find out what kind of people reside in the area, lower income customers will be more attracted to specials, happy hours, and free popcorn, stuff like that, college kids also will enjoy good prices but also live entertainment pool table etc. Higher income may like a clean bar, with more of a upperscale atmosphere, i.e. dueling pianos, jazz band, good food, etc. Most importantly you should first find out which group of customers you wish to attract, then advertise and attack, make flyers, hire bands, run specials, and remember this.....crowds attract crowds, if you can get large crowds there even for a short but consistent time, more people will come, Run a "great" special even if you must first lose money, make flyers to advertise this special and place them where your targeted crowd can find them, hire entertainment, make a huge party and enjoy!!!!!!

You could play off the idea of serving home cooked meals with your marketing. For instance, send out inivitations to a "family meal," "a house warming party," etc. to residents living near the restaurant. You could do 2 for 1, list your specials, personalize it with pics, etc.\n\nSince you're in a small town, advertising in the local paper or college paper, on radio, at any colleges or universities, etc. may also be an option. I moved from a small town (less than 15,000 people) not too long ago & that's how restaurants advertised there.\n\nBasically, just keep in mind what your restaurant's personality is as well as yours. Blend those two & ideas should start flowing.\n\nBest of luck to you!
