Hello,
I own a small website design business. I am looking for advice on the most effective way to advertise these services. I already know that good, quality design and good service is the medicine for success, but how should I let others know about me?

For online marketing, you could do what's usually called article marketing.

In your case, you could write articles sharing your expertise in website design. At the end of each article, include a short bio with your website URL, phone number, etc.

You can submit articles to article announcement lists, or directly to websites.

Hi Brian- I sat next to you w/ Swamy Rao.
Funny that we both found this place. I love it.
Someone was looking for a web designer about a month ago on Idea Cafe and I referred them to you! I think you do a great job! Anyway,
Have you already done B2B marketing? Many computer stores, business consultants, etc. would be happy to keep your business cards on hand. When I'm finished with school, I plan on being a consultant/business turn-around coach myself... I know consultants like to always have lots of resources on hand for their clients -like having 1,000s of cards up their sleeves. Look into building B2B relationships w/ established firms and introducing yourself and dropping off business cards. Wharton is pretty small... you probably know most everyone there. Come over to E.C. sometime. There are a lot of people here that would be happy to help advertise. Sorry so long. Take care.

I got an A in Rao's , you too?
