HI THERE if you are just starting out,the first marketing strategy is word of mouth.reach out to friends and family.From there start to network.give commissions to people for bringing customers to you. If the business starts picking up,turn to advertising on newspapers and classifieds. ultimately, running a web design business is more of an online business.So work on building your ranking so that you appear on Google's first page.That way you will bring in more customers than you can handle. I am also trying to promote my website http://www.ubunifucapital.com,so if you get any new ideas,let me know. good luck

You might want to try obtaining a list of newly registered business in your area. If they just opened a business then having a new website built is probably next on there list. You could try direct mail or a personal letter to them.

The best solution is to put an advert in your local papers telling people the service that you will provide. I would consider that you go to a paper shop and look for web design magazines. You can also find out from the magazines by calling up the magazine and asking whether you can post an advert in their magazines about your service. I would suggest that you could also try online advertising opportunities as well such as creating your website showing the service that you provide so that people would easily find you. I have known other web designers to have a website displaying their portfolios so businesses can find them. I hope this helps.

The best way is by word of mouth. Its hard to advertise offline because the world has started to depend on the internet. I would say sponsor something. Maybe a local pee wee team. It gets your name out there and it also creates a positive impression.
