Be creative, just get your name out there. Find reasons to bring up your clothing in conversations, leave posters in shops. The best idea is to just wear your clothing and keep business cards ready for when people ask you about the clothes your wearing.

So I guess the chamber of commerce is really worth it huh? I've been wondering on that for a while.

In our area it is. They have grand openings of new businesses often. All members are invited, so you get to meet the new business owners in the area.It's amazing to us how our business has grown in just two years.We do not spend much money advertising.The only problem is it takes time going to meetings.

I've recently signed up with Google AdWords and so far I've had some luck. What is so great about it is that you set your monthly budget and from there on out Google takes care of the adverstising. Your ad camaign can be up and running within 10 minutes.

Check it out: Welcome to Google Advertising Programs

Honestly - I think that its great. I have been advertising for about a month now and I've gotten two new jobs out of the deal. My budget is only set at $20 bucks a month right now. I would say that so far so good! I may bump up my budget more to see if I can more exposure.

Well that is up to you. You set a monthly budget which determines how many times your ad is shown. So basically you set a price that is in your budget.

Yeah I totally recommend trying it out. You really can't lose money because you are setting your budget. If you think its not working than you can increase your budget for maximum exposure or just pull the ads all together.

If you have any other questions please let me know!

Sweet I will look into using it more now. Since you have started using it have you noticed an increase in your traffic and even sales?
