1) I run a custom embroidery company and you need to create your cooperate identity. Create your logo and business name on your cooperate apparel.
2) Put the logo on your Auto
3) Make up business cards and hand them out. Every time you see someone you know hand several of them out. When you give people your business card, always give them more than one and ask them to give them to their friends/coworkers, etc. Print up flyers and post them on public boards if there are any near you and post in a forums that related to your location if there are any!
4) The key for this kind of business is word-of-mouth. Think of some clever ways to encourage your existing clients to tell people about you. Perhaps you could start with a friend or family member to be one of your "spokesperson". I owned a convenience store for 10 years and a lot of business deals started in the checkout line by strangers. Tell everyone about you and ask if they know anyone that could use your service. Ask for a referral from an existing client
5) Start a website as a way to advertise you. Let your website work for you and your clients swap links. When making your own web site do some research on how to optimize your site so that you get a good ranking with a natural search. You do this by embedding smart key words. Your website could show your community involvement and you could have questions and answers on the site.
6) Look for websites that you can advertise for free. Advertise in the Yahoo local. Find free on-line classified web sites for your community. Typically the local chamber of commerce will offer such a service. You can advertise here for free: http://www.hits2u.com/?149843

Post a link to your site for free when it is allowed
Try These:
Craigslist http://www.craigslist.com
Google Base http://base.google.com
Yahoo Classifieds http://classifieds.yahoo.com/
US Free Ads http://www.usfreeads.com/
Text Link Exchange http://www.txtswap.com/
Recycler.com http://www.recycler.com/
Classifieds for Free http://www.classifiedsforfree.com/...
7) A Yellow page ad seems to work great also.
9) Sponsor local sport teams or ballparks that hang up banners. There are also inexpensive ways to advertise like a local penny saver newspaper, high school yearbooks and newspapers, etc.
10) Call radio show call in and contest and always answer or make the statement with "your name and company name and you have been working hard" free radio ads are great.
11) Telemarketing
12) Find out if you have the Welcome Wagon in your community. You can get something inserted in their welcome packages both for new home buyers and people who have just had a baby. There will be a cost involved in this, I believe.
Good luck!

Craigslist, PPC (adwords), get on the radio (easy to do), get in the paper (even easier to do). Write articles. Have a website/blog.
Your best bets will be the paper and radio.
Start with the paper (I’m hoping you’re in the USA?)
Call the editor of the business section and tell them you’re in business in their area. Come up with some sort of thing that makes you a bit different and toss it to them.
In almost every local paper I’ve seen they love to write about the local biz.
You’ll get some great instant exposure and it won’t cost you a dime.
Radio is a bit harder, but it’s also free.
Come up with a Controversial sounding pitch. "how to know if your lawyer is screwing you…" something like that.
Break it into a top 3 ways sort of thing, toss it into a media pitch and call the station.
You’ll want to speak to the producer of a show you feel has listeners who will want to hear what you have to say.
Provide content. Do not sell.
Let me say that again… DO NOT SELL.
I did this a few times and brought in over 45,000 subscribers to my site.
Total cost: $0
Total time: 3-5 minutes per interview
Turn time:
Radio = 1 – 3 days
Paper = 1-2 weeks.
Oh… here’s a hint with the paper: find out what company owns them. If there’s a larger company, when you speak to the reporter make sure they’ll put you out on the internal "wire". (I don’t know what it’s called but it’s where they all get their news)
That’s how I blasted through 50 papers in less than a week.
Like moving a mountain – you can either do it stone by stone or you can locate the weak spot, pack it full of C4, light a match and eat a sandwich while the whole thing detonates!
Hope that helps!
