I have been reading that fler advertising is a great way to increase sales so I had some postcards printed up an i wanted to ask where some of the best places for me to flyer may be in your opinion. Can some people with success in this area give me some insight on some good places I may be able to hit in my local area and the kind of realstic return to expect?

I prefer having an insert in the local paper, since most business owners get them at home, its a nice way of advertising your services without a large cost to yourself.

Local papers vary alot as far as costs....May be more cost effective to start with the local local paper such as one for your county or city. These smaller papers dont have as many subscribers but their costs should be a bit lower...
btw there are better places on the forum for these types of posts...hopefully it will get moved so you can get a better response...

There are mail inserts that do good too. Problem with all those is having control of your target, flyers at office depot might target small business owners, or their secretaries anyway. Residential might target personal sites for pictures and whatever goes on personal sites. If you can design a flyer that will catch the attention of all those targets you will have a good chance. ALso might try buliten boards at colleges, laundrymats, anywhere you can post a flyer where it will stick and be seen. Might helo to get a catchy domain name also. Good luck.
