Great tips for getting new customers, thought I should share them with my readers. Post signs in places where there is high visibility and it's all free:

In front of their own business
In front of neighboring businesses
Subway stations
School offices

Apartment buildings -- in laundry rooms)
Community activity centers
Grocery stores
Shopping malls
Car washes
Laundromats
Condominium complex party centers
Hotel and motel lobbies
Utility poles
Military cafeterias and recreation centers
Counters of public places
Meeting convention centers and rooms
Construction walls
Libraries
Union halls

Their cars -- featuring a compelling sign, parked in a conspicuous place
On the fences outside a construction site



These places require payment, but are great marketing avenues.


College and high school newspapers and yearbooks
Classified services on the World Wide Web -- many are free
Classified services on commercial online services -- many are free
Local entertainment and tourist magazines
Community group and association newsletters
Small, local newspapers
Chamber of Commerce publications
Radio talk shows -- by appearing as a guest or calling in
A lingerie store owner stenciled small messages onto the sidewalks of New York, with provocative sayings like, "From here it looks like you could use some new underwear."
Projected at night onto the side of a building.
On your voice-mail message, but please keep it brief


Happy Marketing Week!
