It may seem old-fashioned, but one of the best ways to market your small business is to utilize local bulletin boards.  Whether they’re in a coffee shop, library, grocery store, or anything, huge amounts of people in your community check bulletin boards every day.  Posting on local bulletin boards is an inexpensive and effective way to reach large amounts of people.  Utilize bulletin boards in places where your customers are likely to be found.  Advertise in some unusual places too, in order to attract more customers. 

Post flyers or brochures announcing your grand opening, a special sale, or a promotional event.  Be sure to include specific dates as well as your business’s contact information.  Post new material often.
