Write letters to the editor of publications your target market reads.

Get involved in an organization or community project.

Build strategic alliances with non-competing businesses and cross-promote each other.

Publish a special report. A "super how to" list for your specialty area. Distribute freely. Ensure that your contact information is included.

Carefully target relationships with media sources.
