You got $5000-6000 to spend on ads. where would you go and how would you advertise your company (except googleads)..

I really need different ideas on this one and some experiance would be great also.

Thanks a lot

Spend it locally. Newspaper ads, yellow page ads, memberships to local business clubs (send your best salesperson to all of the business luncheons, etc.) and postcards.

I agree - local advertising is the best for new businesses

Personally I think you should know how BIG is your local market first. and what is business strategy? Are you going Local or International? maybe both?

Spend it sensibly and not all at once. Start local then perhaps national. Draw up an advertising plan

Hello Oden..

Not to be smart, But first, I'd have Ceonex.com design a site instead of a template monster design. That is the very first thing I noticed. However, you can still get a nice design for much less, have new banners made at bannersmall.com ($20.00 each) and then I would focus on advertising.

It's hard to sell hosting as your own brand if 50 other people have the same web site as you..

Just my thoughts,
Chris
