In my local press, there is a section for Telecommunications and one for Recruitment. I am definetly not looking for a job, just clients... and I'm not advertising for computer parts!! Would I put my ad in the Telecommunications section or ask if there is a business support section in the press? Any comments/suggestions welcomed!

Is there a "services offered" section? Perhaps placing a quick call to their classified department would be wise - they could help direct you as to where you'd fit in best! __________________ Create a welcome packet for new clients with this guide and free templates!

Did things differently the 2nd time- a business card size ad geared towards real estate professionals in the real estate section--stood out nicely. My plan for the next time is simply the same business card size ad in the general section. Still believing that I'll get hits from these efforts . __________________ Creative & Strategic Web Design Services www.aivirtualsolutions.com
