Question

What are the best ways to get your business name out there?

Answer 1

THE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get a website, post on forums (for example, if your an electrician, type "Electrician forum" into google and you'll find one! They usually have advertising sections. I'm a web designer and i get a lot of work this way!).

Answer 2

It depends what type your business is, whether it sells products or offers services.

Answer 3

Word of mouth has been, and will continue to be, the best way to solidly grow a business. Exposure is a close second, and given societies trends over the last decade, investment in emerging technologies and means of communication is a solid bet. The paperless society is emerging, as evidenced by the rapid expansion of credit cards over cash and email over mail.

Hedging your bets on electronic advertising over traditional advertising can minimize expenses and maximize exposure if the advertisement is composed and packaged correctly, whereas with traditional media you are stuck with black and white.

Answer 4

free stuff (like magnets, little calendars, pens, etc.)

Advertising in the phone book is my favorite option for small businesses. The ad is sitting in every business and in every home for a year. Phone books are distributed annually by the phone company. To homes and businesses for free. I greatly encourage this  option.

Answer 7

This is a very broad question, and depends on the type of business.

Networking with people and handing out your business card is probably your best option for a local business.

Our business has mainly overseas clients, so we use the Internet and cost-per-click yahoo and google advertising.

Other standard, but often expensive advertising methods include radio, television and press
