Get exposure by networking with others in your industry. While you're there, run a competition to collect the email addresses and/or postal addresses of people interested in receiving your newsletter or additional information about your product or service.
Get involved. They may be able to offer suggestions on where you can promote your business locally.
Networking is great way of generating word-of-mouth referrals. The sales leads you generate through networking will be more easily converted if you have a professional web site.
With complementary businesses. For example, let's say you sell a dog training video. You could approach local groomers or dog agility centres and offer to share the cost of their next direct mail campaign. When they mail a postcard or letter inviting their clients to return, you can offer their clients a discount on your dog training video. This way you both reduce your costs - you reach a targeted audience quickly, easily, and through a trusted party (the other business) - and your business 'partner' can make a valuable product available at a discount to their customers.
