Today in Birmingham with the Pop-Up Business School participants we came up with the following list of low cost or no cost ways you can promote or market your new business!
  1. Twitter - quick and easy way to be able to find people to talk to about your business
  2. Internet Forums - Google forums on your area and see who is talking about your product area
  3. Exhibitions - whether you go or just use twitter and the exhibition #hashtag these are brilliant places to talk to people
  4. Instagram - share photos of your products and get involved in the community
  5. Social Clubs - different groups meet at social clubs, you could go and do a talk for them or go along to the meeting and chat to them
  6. Free Papers - make friends with the journalists and give them interesting stories and they will thank you
  7. Gym - if you have a health product this is where healthy people hang out
  8. Churches, Mosques and community centres - incredible communities that already exist that you can go to talk to
  9. Family and Friends - Speak to the people you know!
  10. Word of mouth - through local businesses, through hairdressers, through customers
  11. Parents and toddler groups - If you are selling to Mum's or kids then find groups like MumsNet
  12. Supermarket display boards - sometimes they allow you to put up some free adverts
  13. Pinterest - 43% of all social media sales are generated through this free service!
  14. Facebook - create a community through Facebook, giving them information and entertainment and then display your information
  15. YouTube - is the 2nd largest search engine in the world!  Make sure people can find you on here
  16. Own vehicle advertising - get a transfer for your business and put it on your car.  Free advertising where ever you park!
  17. Radio - hospital radio, local radio shows, be a guest.
  18. Cold calling - speak to people on the phone

Pick 5 of these way and test!  Start now and get marketing.  There is nothing like the buzz of making that first sale or winning the next big contract!
