Advertising your business can be quite a challenge.  A challenge that can be quite costly especially if you are just starting a new business.  New business owners typically do not have a lot of capital for advertising when they first start out.  So what ways are there to advertise?  Let's explore some of the options you have.

Creating a website is one of the first items that business owners should do to offer information about their business, their products, their mission statement, etc.   And because the internet is a great way for consumers to research products, all businesses should offer a website.  As far as advertising goes, though, there is a drawback to this.  Unless your website name or the name of your product is known, consumers may not be able to locate you on the internet.  Another drawback is that unless you know a lot about website design, this can be somewhat costly.  So what other ways can you advertise?

Writing articles about your business and products is another way that you can advertise.  You don't need to be a journalist to do this either.  Anyone can write an article these days and submit it to the large selection of online magazine websites.  You simply write something about your products and submit the article to the website. They review the article and, if there are no problems, it is placed on the internet for the public to view.   You can talk about your products and how they will help them with their needs in these articles.  This method of advertising is very inexpensive or free.  But again, because the internet is so large, unless people have the name of your product or website, they may not come across it.

Another good way is to enlist the help of friends or relatives.  Explain how you started a new business and need some help "getting the word out".  Tell them how you created a website and wrote some articles about your business and products.  Have them tell their friends and relatives about it.  This is a great way to get your message out there about your business and it doesn't cost a dime.

Another way to get your business out there is to advertise in local newspapers and in magazines.  You can even have a television commercial made, but these types of advertising can be quite expensive for someone just starting out. 

An inexpensive and common way to advertise your business is through your vehicle.  You can have vinyl business logos for vehicles created and put them on the windows or doors of your vehicle.  Everytime you go somewhere you are getting advertisement in!  These logos are made of vinyl and not paint, so they don't need to be permanently on your vehicle.  These vinyl business logos for vehicles can be purchased on the internet.  They are designed to be transferred to your vehicle from a sheet of paper and can be easily removed.  They cost around $50 depending on the size and amount of colors involved.  This is one of the more cost effective ways to advertise because the visibility for your product is remarkable. 

Just place the important information about your business along with your website on the logo you choose (or you can design one and submit it), place it on your vehicle, and watch the interest in your business improve.  By using vinyl business logos for vehicles to promote your product, you will be on your way to having a successful business!
