You can also place flyers on the bulletin boards in stores. With your phone number placed vertically on the bottoms, several times and pre-cut so people can take one. Have someone who is great on the computer to draft up a colorful ad for the flyer. It can even be done in Word or some of the other programs that come with the computer.

Also Vista print www.vistaprint.com (no, I don't work for them) has ready made postcards you can design yourself. It is very easy. They have clipart and photos you can choose from. Then you can place your company name, your name and phone number on the front. You can write a small description on the back or you can leave it blank (less money). You can place these cards in stores on the magazine racks that have the real estate guides, contractor newsletters and clipper magazines. You probably have to get permission from the store manager though.

A newsletter. You can print some photos of the jobs you have done with a small "write up" and place these in the magazine racks as well.
