Offer to swap ads with local businesses. We have our cards in 5-6 different stores.
We also give 3-5 of our cards to all our customers, telling them to tell their friends.

We have them in the local dunkin donuts, the pretzal store, and a few restaurants. THe key was we developed a relationship with a lot of them before we worked on anything. We were going to each other's stores for months for business, and sending customers there as well.
Once they know that you'll actually help them as well, they should open up. Calling most likely won't work.

What size town are you in? Anytime there is a change within my store or within the company(indirect) I go to the local paper and let them know. It works for me being in a smaller town and they are hard pressed to fill up the daily paper with news anyways.
Fliers, not free but cheap. You can do the old standby and team up with a local pizza place and tape the fliers to the box tops.

WAH-wah. what i do here in portland OR is simple, and it seems to drive a decent amount of customer traffic. 1st off, i've gone to local apartment complexes and dropped my cards off to the office assistants, but the trick is to slap a little sticker on the back that says 20% off accessories at my location only. then they give the cards out of leave them on the counter, and when these unsuspection people come into my store wanting 20% off, i shark them into buying all new phones or other accessories and only do 20% off one. the way you word it makes all the difference.

my buddy made friends with a guy who works on air at the local radio station and he says his business on air once a day and he does his dry cleaning for free. so offer to discount some accessories when your working for whomever helps advertise...everyone listens to radio.

Want to know what a rep did when we launched south Texas? He asked the Tecate beer girls to stand outside in mini skirts and camis holding company signs. It worked! 🙂

No worries. I'm no grammar nazi. As long as what you're writing is legible it'sall good. 🙂 But I'm from South Texas so it's been sooo hot. Perfect day for the beach. I love that I live 20 minutes from South Padre Island.
