You
may not have a big advertising budget when you start your small business. Television commercials may be out of your
reach for a while until you get established.
There are many ways to advertise that are affordable and within your
budget.
Create a Flyer
Flyers
are often overlooked by some small business owners but they are an effective
form of advertising. Offer a discount or a sale in your flyer because it is
effective in getting people into your door. Put flyers under windshield wipers
in shopping mall parking lots, medical centers, and on bulletin boards.
Door Hangers
Create
a doorknob ad that is specifically outlined for your business. They are a great form of low cost advertisement if your business is geographically defined for example, a day
care or a contracting service.
Internet Advertising
Every
small business needs a website it doesn't matter what type of business you’re
in. Most people look for companies in their local area on the internet when
they are going to buy something. Create a company profile on a social media
website. List your company in online
directories. Create a company blog and
write content about your product or service and post links back to your
website.
Craigslist
List
your company on craigslist. Post an ad on Craigslist for free. List your
business under the right category and location.
