As I'm sure plenty of you are already aware, I own my own small bussiness that I'm hoping to grow.  I haven't read nearly enough literature on the subject (something I plan to remedy soon as I didn't realize the deficiancy until just now.   You'd be amazed the basic things that don't come to mind until later)  That said I remember hearing or reading that the vast majority of advertising money is wasted and I figure that a good way to find out what is wasted is to just ask you, the common man and woman.
 
What kind of advertising do you most listen to and seek out?  Word of mouth?  What do you do with bussiness cards?  Flyers?  Do you usually take the advice of your employer or friends or do you shop around?  Is the first thing you find usually something that you pay attention to?

    Generally, I try to go by recommendations from people I know, and have knowledge in the field.  For example, I wouldn't ask my gf to recommend me a car, just like I wouldn't ask my football buddy to recommend me a book. 

    I'm sure you've read the article or see the headline, "Tivo and Direct TV changing how Americans watch TV blah blah blah..."  There is some truth to that.  Because people just fast forward through commercials, product placement inside the show is becoming more and more common.  I do try to support individually owned mom & pop shops when I find them. 

    I wish you the best of luck and great success in your business Sean.  You're a bright fella, I'm sure you'll make fine work of it.
