Whats a good way to new clients?

For a startup advertising agency? I work full time. I have a good job. But I'd like to start this on my own- from scratch. Can someone please advice?

(I'd like to offer my service other than my local hometown)
Do I call, email? Newsletters? Postcard? Help!

Ummm. this is no porno guys. so please those comments I will not allow.

You start by creating a strategic business plan. You need to identify who your ideal clients are. What problem of theirs will you solve? Who is your competition and why are you better than they are? Why should your prospects trust you?

Once you have a plan, then you start by using your advertising talents to attract your target market to you. Show how wonderful you are. Donate your services to local non-profits to build a portfolio and/or contacts.

Direct mail

it is very effective

bang them

ummm.... i dont have job. maybe you should let people know tha u want a co.

habo hotel because every time you visit a new room an add comes up, or neopets because a million people are on it every minute and another really big one could be rhapsody

You hire me, that's what. I'll beat up some business for you. I can sell bullsh.. with the best of 'em. You'll be up there with O&M and Saatchi in no time.

Do all of the above. Can you draw? Start within your locale
grocery stores,dry cleaners, pharmacy,gas stations and see if they're running an ad/sale/promotion, then make their signs
and etc. Word of mouth may be the best way to begin!!

Pitch letters, if you have the money, advertising on the local cable channels and papers of the areas you are trying to target, special events. I would also try partnering with community businesses and non-profits. Offer to do a couple ads and advertising gigs for free jus tso you can build good rapport and so they know what you can do.
