Buy advertising space on discussion board web
sites. They are usually arranged by subject; that makes them highly targeted. For example, if you are selling gardening tools, you would want to advertise on gardening, farm, tool and lawn-related discussion boards.
 

Create a long-term relationship with your entire
customer base. You can stay in touch with them through an e-zine, with greeting cards, opt-in lists, autoresponders, messages boards, chat rooms, e-mail discussion lists, instant online messages, etc. When you stay in touch, people don't forget about your business.
 

Cut out words, phrases and paragraphs in your
ad copy that aren't selling or supporting your product. This will stop people from getting bored with your ad. You want every word of your ad to persuade the reader to buy.
 

Give people a strong guarantee. This increases
the perceived value because it shows that you stand behind your products. For example, you could say, "If you are not completely satisfied, you will get triple your money back!" Another example, "Even if you ask for a refund, you can still keep our product!"
 

Have some jackets printed with your web site
address and other business information. Give them away to family and friends. When it's too cold for T-shirts, you can wear jackets. When your kids wear them to school, other kids may see your web site information and tell their parents about it.
 

Have some mugs imprinted with your web site
address and other business information. Use them when you have company or give them away to friends and family as gifts. You could donate some to the local coffee shops and increase your web site exposure.
 

Most people want to make the people around
them happy. Tell your prospects how happy their friends or family will be if they buy your product. For example, you could say, "Order before June 23, 2002, and get a second one for a friend. Just imagine how happy your friend will be when you give them this incredible product."
 

Share customers with other businesses that have
the same target audience. Offer their product to your customers if, in exchange, they do the same for you. For example, if your business is selling toys, you could cross-promote a business that sells kids’ games. You both have a similar target audience.
 

Include your own picture in your ad copy. This
will show people that you're not hiding behind your ad copy and will increase their trust. Also, include your contact information below the picture and a brief statement or quote. If you feel adventurous, you could include an online audio sound bite or video clip of yourself.
