There are so many ways to advertise your business that it would be impossible to list them all. Traditional forms of advertising may include purchase of advertising space community coupon packets such as Val-Pak, telephone directories, city maps and local tourist guides, and local area magazines and newspapers. State fairs, community or church events, or job fairs often have reasonable table or booth rental; if you organize some kind of prize drawing or raffle, you will have contact information for many potential customers. Donations of your products or services is also an excellent way to get exposure for your business–try local radio stations, TV local information channels, or bingo halls. Ask local restaurants and bars if advertising space is available for purchase on their placemats or beverage coasters. Have a few T-shirts and tote bags with your business logo on them and hand them out to people you know. Put a vehicle banner, window cling, or license plate holder on your vehicle that advertises your business name. Business cards, business card magnets, window clings, and promotional flyers or coupons can be left with any business who gives you permission—some ideas are hairdressers, coffee stands, offices for any medical health provider you might know, banks, retail stores, hotels, restaurants, daycare centers, college campus or trade school student information centers, car dealerships, housing rental offices, and gyms.
Pacific Media expands on the above-listed possibilities by offering advertising space on gas pumps, dartboards, nightclubs, concert and sporting event venues, movie theaters, and department stores, not just in the form of posters, but on the sidewalk, glass doors, and many more. When it comes to making your business succeed, marketing and visibility is everything!
