    you should to to a college or university and post flyers on the desks before a class goes in. It is a great way for promoting business. I know a friend who actually did this and it brought alot of traffic and business to his business. Don't forget to try more than one college or anything like that.

    Hope this helps
    Cheers,
    Jon

    You should advertise it at TV during prime time such as during news time.

    It will surely bring you more business.

    Good old fashioned cold calling of your local businesses either by phone or face to face that gets best results.

    what Exodia said. Different business will get different response from different media. So without knowing what your business is it is impossible to tell what can be effective.

    Here is a method I use that doesn't require a marketing budget at all. Try free classified sites like Craigslist, Backpage, etc. By utilizing good keyword phrase anchor text choices, you could get some good Google SEO love.

    Also consider B2B voice broadcasting and direct mail postcards as they can be very targeted. Your list choices are key if you go either route.

    Word of mouth.
    When you have something that is truly unique and has something "of value" to offer, it spreads like wildfire...whether it be online of offline.
    Creativity is a gift, and your imagination is a tool that desires to be exercised.
    Happy hunting!
