Ways to Promote your Business for Free

[standing]

Hi
I copy them from Milanoo. Hope it can help you guys.

Hi

1.Classified Ads : There are plenty of classified ad directories on the internet where you can post ads for free, two such sites being Gumtree and Vivastreet.

2. Send out press releases : Many small businesses consider the prospect of getting press coverage unattainable. However, a good story submitted well has every chance of making the news, and best of all it’s free.
3. Start a blog : Starting a blog is an excellent way of engaging your existing audience as well as attracting new customers. However, blogs do take time and patience so only start one if you have the time to put into it.
4. Participate in relevant forums : Online forums are used and viewed by hundreds of people, and there’s almost always likely to be a couple of forums based around your industry. Participate in these forums through making relevant posts – many forums allow you to include a link to your company in your signature.
5. Cross-Promotion : Find non-competing companies in your industry and suggest cross-promoting your two products, perhaps through adding links on your websites or including flyers in mail shots.

Hey...
here are some important tips for promote business...
1)Start a Twitter account with your business name as the "username" and your first and last names as the "name".
2)If your business has a website, post it. If not, post your business phone number and/or email so that potential customers can get in touch with you. Also post a photo of your business, logo, or even yourself.
3)Find Twitter users in your area. How do you do this? One way is by clicking on the "Find People" tab at the top of any Twitter page. Enter the name of your city or area in the "Who are you looking for" box. You should get a ton of responses with users in your area.. "follow" these people and a good number of them will follow you back.
4)Another way to find followers in your area is to click on the username of some of the people you follow and see if any of their "followers" also live in your area.
5)The best way to find potential customers in your area is to use the search bar in the middle of the Twitter page. You can enter your city name and click the search button.
6)Advertise your business! After you've acquired a few hundred or so followers (this should only take a few days) start sending tweets about your business. Offer specials and incentives. If you have a website - promote that. To keep track of how well Twitter is working for you, you may want to offer a special discount to any customer who found you on Twitter.
i think these are all very effective...
