I've heard about Guerilla Marketing for years but have never checked out this book. I think I'll have to finally pick it up.

Does anyone know of any good Canadian free business listings?

Ahhh ... gee ... you're making me blush. It is in my nature to want to help people succeed. Even with my chronic grumpiness. lol

Don't negate the 1/4 page ad you print and distribute at bars/pubs where businessmen and women hang out. Or, slip them under windshield wipers at the grocery/market.

You only need one or two new clients to help fund a little more upscale advertisement and gain great testimonials to use on/in them.

I have put my business up on a few of the free directories, however at this stage haven't had any responses.

But I figure it is free and you never know!

Question Re: Free advertising options
Is the book you're speaking of actually called "Guerilla Advertising"? My library has the "Advertising" one (not marketing) and before I go there I want to be sure this is the book you are all speaking of. It sounds like it's got some great ideas!!!

Re: Free advertising options
Hi Guys

Some of the threads mentioned the book Guerrilla Adverstising

I've got a great link to the book! I am not too sure if this is the complete version but it goes on for 87 pages so I guess it covers a fair bit of the subject!

http://books.google.co.uk/books?hl=e...esult#PPA87,M1

I hope you find it useful!

I have my business listed on a number of free sites, too.
I love FREE! And I have had some success.
I'm going to check out some of the other links shown in the messages above.
I'm also going to check out my library for the "Guerrilla" book.

Sylvia, I was able to find some free Cdn sites by researching Chamber of Commerce sites for various cities in Western Canada. There is often a link there for free advertising.
