Ads strategically placed in magazines are effective. Many niche magazines have classifieds sections. The ad’s cost to you is determined by the amount of time you want it ran and the amount of space it takes up but it it still relatively cheap. One of the best reasons to choose magazine classified advertising is that, unlike newspaper classifieds where people never read every ad, magazine readers are usually big enough fans that they actually do read every classified ad in the back of the magazine. This gives you incredibly targeted traffic that is looking specifically for products and services like yours. Expect a huge income jump with this marketing method
There are many promotional tools you can get made inexpensively with your name or logo on them; pens, key chains and buttons for example. You might be able to convince local businesses to give these items away for you. Leave these items in as many places as you can, especially places that attract large numbers of people. Think of the places you yourself frequently visit, and leave them around there the next time you stop by.
Do not discount the bulletin boards you see at the library or at the grocery stores. These boards are free to place your ads on. And during holidays you can expect your fliers to be seen by thousands of people. Almost every visitor to the library or grocery store stops by the bulletin board, just to see what is being offered. For being a free method it sure does work wonders with bringing traffic to your site.
