advertising dollars

[Swimmer]

Don't advertise in the coupon envelopes that come around once a week. I new the guy who ran that years ago and he told me over coffee one morning that it takes someone looking at an individual advertisement for a business to see it twelve times before they will remember your business. That to me is a waste of money.

Paul,

Network as much as possible
Advertise with your truck (toss a sign and number on it)
Website (updated frequently)
Local newspaper ad (Marshfield Mariner, Patriot Ledger)
Visit local Chamber of Commerce too Marshfield Chamber of Commerce

If you are trying to grow your winter business you can target specific neighborhoods by stuffing mailboxes with flyers etc.

You can also advertise in a churches flyer they hand out at the end of mass
