Read an article talking if you are starting your own business and fresh in the market, don't advertise in radios or press when you have a tight budget. Some people fall in the mistake that they advertise in any kind of media buying short schedules just because they think that they have to advertise.
If you don't have enough money to advertise, raise awareness about your product or service through networking. Building relationsips matters through attending events& conferences, participating in volunteer work or networking through scoial media.
People will remember you if you provided them a service when they need it. You should show loyalty to them and always remember them through phone calls, short notes from time to time.
One of my favorite examples of networking comes from a friend of mine who started her own business from home a few years ago. She had joined the local chamber, became active within the organization, and had even been awarded the “Newcomer of the Year”. Even though she had made many contacts, her business was still struggling to get over the hump between just making it and being where she hoped she would be. Trying something bold, she decided to send out notes and cards to her core group of contacts and told them the situation she was in, and asked if they would help her to find a business deal that would bring her over that hump. She wrote in each note that she was looking for a company to do some contract work for, she needed so many hours per week to make it worthwhile for the client and for her, and she would be willing to work with them in negotiating a fair price depending on the length of the contract. Within a couple of days she was negotiating her largest contract ever because of a referral from a person from her core group of contacts that she had sent out. Awareness, timing, and sincerity.
