Sometimes you just don't have a fortune to spend on something like marketing. The natural problem here is that if you really want to generate strong business in order to make money you need to be prepared to spend money in the first place. Because of this, a lot of small businesses are forced to really squeeze their budget in order to afford any kind of marketing.

The best way to stretch your marketing budget as far as possible is to understand the cheaper yet effective methods of getting your name out there.

Flyer printing is an effective and cost efficient form of color printing that works perfectly for the budget of a small company.

If you are going to print, some flyers make sure you put a lot of careful thought into the design and the market you are hoping to target. The more focused your design is the stronger the message will be. Now you are increasing your odds that the right person will taken interest in your company.

Also, because color printing in bulk can be a lot cheaper than numerous smaller orders, try to print out a large supply all at the same time to use over the span of six months ...
... to a year. This way you can get the most out of your money and have marketing material for a longer period.

As for getting the flyers to your potential customers, the most common method is to directly hand them to people. You will definitely want to always keep a number of them in your store and on you at all times that you can. You can have your flyer act as a business card, always ready to be handed out when you see someone who might be interested.

Of course, putting up flyers at particular locations around the city is another great way to get them to a very specific market. I had a friend who was advertising a Yoga seminar she was going to teach, and so she printed off a large batch of flyers and put them up at coffee shops and cafes along with specific restaurants around the city.

Because she knew where her target audience was most likely to hang out, she was able to heavily focus her flyers with both the designs on them and the locations she put them up.

Ask yourself where your future customers spend their time and see if you can get your flyers put up in those stores.

You can also use direct mailing and actually mail your flyers to people if you have a solid mailing list. While it might be a slightly more expensive strategy, you have a guarantee that people will see your flyer and you have a better chance of sparking interest.

Do not let a smaller than desired marketing budget stop you from doing any kind of color printing. Marketing is simply going to be a must for the majority of new companies.
