Thanks for the lesson on trying to meet the customers "real" need and look past the stated or obvious needs. Might be harder but surely will pay big dividends. Thanks!

Some fantastic tips about marketing, but I must agree with Woodrononice. You must ensure that you know you're market. Craigslist works very well in mainstream classified ads, but I feel it cam sometimes backfire as a marketing avenue. How many times have you been on Craigslist and seen very shady, seedy posts for companies you envision are scams! But once again thanks for the great broadcast!! Cool broadcast my friend.

I just wanted to comment on the idea of using "free" advertising. While I do believe sources like craigslist are an incredible resource, you need to know your market. If you're not making an appetizing advertisement, you can risk looking like a cheap or cheesy business. Then again, if you can't afford yet to do more, free advertising is great. I still believe word-of-mouth is the best advertisement out there, so get talking! I don't have a favourite website, but a new favourite phone number, it's googles version of 4-1-1 and it's FREE. 1-800-GOOG-411 You have some good tips for helping out small businesses.
