A few ideas: 1) Flyers & Business Cards - Who are your customers & where do they shop (e.g. grocery, home improvement stores, etc)? Post flyers where your customers frequent. 2) Advertise Locally -- Newspapers, Craigslist, Yahoo! Local 3) Word of Mouth -- Offer a great service & people will talk. 4) Mailers -- Send out coupons, specials, etc. Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
