It can be difficult in the early days with getting your business up and running. You have sourced set up capital to open your business, and you know there are customers out there that need your products and services. All you need to know now is there actual customers out there to generate cashflow and eventually your fortune. That is the problem, how does Mr Customer know that you have opened for business. With no or little money available for advertising you will soon run into cashflow problems if you do not use some free or low cost methods to attract customers to your business fast. I have detailed a few low cost ways you can advertise your business. These suggestions will help you to start momentum for your business when you have a limited advertising budget.

Firstly, invest in a website. Domain names can be purchased from under $10, hosting services can also be obtained from around the same investment per month. With the internet age upon us it is essential that you consider having a website presence. There are all kinds of things you can do with a website, and if you put aside some time to learning search engine optimization methods, you can quickly find your website at the top of your business category for Google searches. Take advantage of this by adding your website address to the signature file of all outgoing emails.

Getting business cards will be another step for your low cost advertising promotion, be sure your website address is included on these cards.

Bumper stickers and T-shirts are fantastic fun ways of getting your business brand name into the market.

Word of mouth has been and continues to be one of the most powerful forms of advertising. For those considering starting an online or bricks and mortar type business you will know doubt have used word of mouth promotion with your friends and family, with the difference being you may have endorsed another company who provided you with exceptional service or convenience. You are the key factor in your business that will lead to your success or failure. If you stand out from other providers in the market by providing friendly and excellent service, then you will find your customers will refer prospects to you and these referrals will not cost you a dime.
