    Since you’ll be targeting the local market, you can help customers to find your business by simply giving out leaflet. This is an old school way of marketing but can still give results. People can view your page by the leaflet.

    I was sensing for a product that would provide particular, in-depth details. I did not bump out what I was sensing for here.

    Another way to build an online brand for a local market is to utilize business directories such as qype etc. Having a strong brand on these sites certainly does wonder for traffic generation.
