Marshall another way you can advertise rather cheaply is to put a sign on your car. Either a magnetic sign that you can have made at any sign shop. Or you ask if the sign shop if they can make a transparent sign for your car windows. You can see out, but from the outside, people will see the advertisement. I have a HRR, which is a small station wagon. On the back side windows, and on the back window, I have a sign that simply says "PIANO TUNING", with my name and phone number. It cost me $750, but it has brought in thousands of dollars in business. I get calls from people while I'm on the highway. And when I'm in a parking lot, people come up to me ask for my business card.

Do you mean fo r piano lessons? I'll check out the paper and I've thought about cold calling out of the phone book. What are your thoughts calling residential listings as well. I've doe this with churches and nursing homes shcools,but I'm toying around with the idea of residential listings.
