5 Low Cost Advertising Stragities for your Handyman Business

1. Flyers - Flyers are a lot of work to distribute, but when you are trying to build a customer base from nothing they work fairly well. Keep them simple with just your name, phone number, maybe email, and information about the services you offer.
2. Craigslist - You can advertise your new business for free on craigslist. The quality of leads craigslist produces varies, but it is free.
3. Newspaper Ads - I would only place a small classified ad in your local papers business and services directory. Other types of ads cost to much and don't produce much better results.
4. Yelp - Get your business listed on Yelp as quickly as you can. Its free and Yelp is a great source for business.
5. Website - You can try a free website or you can spend a little money and have one designed and optimized. Once your site is online you just have to pay the hosting fees and maintain it. You can get hosting for about $8 a month.
