What do you know about a Major in Business Marketing?

Hi I just set up an online movie rental business and would like to know what is the best form of marketing.?

• The market that I want to target is the Republic of Ireland (26 counties)and the website is dvds direct.ie I have tried some newspaper advetising and flyers.Basically what I want is the cheapest and most effective way to market the service.

• Answer:

  You can start a local offline/online forum discussing major movie releases and invite people to become members. (Free passes & special screenings are a way to get members excited about your business.) Divide the forum into different areas -- horror, comedy, dark noir, Irish classics -- just as you would in a regular DVD rental store. Newspaper classifieds are still among the cheapest ways to advertise a new business. You can combine it with radio advertising and word-of-mouth to get the ball rolling. Good luck!
