2. Be very very careful where you advertise.

Zero in on your market, if you run a dog grooming business, advertise your business in local pet supply stores, vet offices, and such.

Of course get permission first and then you may want to think about doing a flyer or business card swap.

3. you may also want to think about giving away free coupons in addition to traditional business cards or flyers
Free offers always arouse interest in prospects and coupons are a great way to give away a product or service.

4. Hold a contest or a drawing for your customers.

A contest with a nice enough prize requiring a purchase to enter could likely cause customers to buy something just to enter the contest.

Hosting a contest is a great way to generate sales and business.

So don't forgo advertising your small business because it too expensive.
