Well the best thing you should start off with is making calling-cards for yourselves. Give them to your friends and famliy's. You can even drop them in the suggestion boxes at most places....Theres other ways too...just think out side of the box ^_^
As for online Ads. The best an inovated way is to make a website. You can make it yourself or higher a company/freelance artist to do so cheaply. After that you can add Yahoo Ads and Google Ads on there to get hits and fast search results for your site....
The other best idea I can offer is you find a place online that popular to many and offer that Webmaster a deal for you to have your website banner on their site along with theirs on your site.
One of the other things I can suggest that I've been recently using is On-line Radio just set up a radio server and have ads playing every so offten along with that offer to other companies to get ads on their too, thats where you can earn extra profit.
OR you can print posters and slap them across your street too ^_^ I hope this helped

You can advertise on your automobile, through you children at school (meaning sponsor PTA events, attend lots of school functions and have a table), through your church, ask corporate is you can post flyers in the employee room, door-to-door, cars in a parking lot, sponsorship of television events, etc.
by Sammy - 5 years agoThere are many different ways to get high quality targeted traffic but the most cost-effective one is by far search engine optimization.
The search engine optimization techniques are so important because the best kind of website traffic by far is going to be search engine traffic. This type of traffic is traffic who is highly targeted and because of that not only are they going to be interested in reading what you have to say but they are also going to be more interested in buying whatever you have to offer.
