I am starting a computer repair/media digitization business from my home. I am trying to think of ways to advertise this business. My ideas so far are putting an ad in my Church's yellow pages, seeing if I can distribute flyers at my local mall, Craig's list, Google Adwords, Ebay Classified Ads, and just word of mouth. Does anyone know of any other affordable good ideas for advertising my small business? I also have a website detailing my services.
I would say if your mainly looking for local business – advertise locally.
Ask yourself how would you find a person to repair your home computer if you needed to.
A lot of people would look in there local business directories for these services – so maybe thats a good and cheapish place to start.
Also internet advertising – targeted at your local area. Doesn't have to be expensive, just choose how much you want to spend per visitor. Even as low as 0.03 per click will get your adverts listed on some local pages.
There are some good tips for low cost advertising on the website http://www.advertisebrand.com . Its free and was useful to me when I was looking to advertise my business cheaply.
I would personally forget about Ebay and Craigs list and concentrate on smaller more local advertising.
Even pining your business card or flyer up on notice boards will advertise your services.
