I’m actually a (real) bakery, not a design business, but we have been in business about a year and a half, are packed to the gills, and are in the process of expanding to be able to handle the overflow… and we have NEVER paid for an advertisement.
We have a good relationship with the local press, donate to a number of local charity events, and promote other restaurants and local businesses in the area. We do a newsletter and twitter (both of which our customers sign up for, we don’t solicit) but let our customers know we depend on them to get the word out if they like us. So far it’s worked!

Great question! Since my business is online, I generally focus my advertising energies there. But I’m so new, that I’m just beginning to explore the advertising market. I’m sure that there are some great print ads to be found that don’t cost *too* much, right?
