What can I do to advertise my business in the Tacoma and Seattle area that really works on a small budget?

I have three business locations in Tacoma and Seattle, WA and I need to stay ahead of the competition. I've tried radio, newspapers and direct mail (ValPak and MoneyMailer) but they are ridiculously expensive for the few customers each has directed to me so I want to try something new. Is there anything better out there?What can I do to advertise my business in the Tacoma and Seattle area that really works on a small budget?
How about running coupons on the back of the register tapes in your local grocery store? I am actually the Tacoma rep for a company that works with all of the Safeways in the Puget Sound. This form of advertising really works at getting more customers through your door, and it doesn't cost nearly the price of traditional media. I have numerous clients who are redeeming 10-15 coupons a day with our program. Definitely consider this form of advertising. It gets new customers into your store and existing customers into your store more often. Email me if you would like more info. Good luck!
You could try email blasts or fax blasts.



You might want to look at what you are using to draw them to your stores. The offer has to be worthwhile and the ad must be selling something with "was and now" prices. It depends on what you are selling.



If I were you, I would be talking to an ad agency. With 3 locations, your account is probably good for an agency to help you find you market better.What can I do to advertise my business in the Tacoma and Seattle area that really works on a small budget?
It completely depends upon the business and the target market.
Maximize your marketing efforts by utilizing the power of business promotional products.



Why do people use them? because they work - place your "benefit" statement on all of them and pass them out



pens, pencils, hats, coffee mugs, etc...
