    Put an ad on Craigslist.

    Create flyers and post them around your local community.

    Get ads put in the local newspapers.

    Craigslist, kijiji.com, Google Base and Ebay are options online.

    You can also join your local Chamber of Commerce and Better Business Bureau.

    Email marketing can be effective, but you need to be able to capture email addresses on your website through a form.

    You should also submit your site to Google Local and Yahoo Local as well as any other local directory, such as City Search, you can find. Those can be huge traffic drivers if you can get into top results.

    Make sure your website is properly optimized for the engines to pick it up (SEO). If it’s not search friendly it’s going to be nearly impossible to rank well on Google.
