Top Five Ideas for Free Local Advertising for Your Website
Free Local Advertising - Bulletin Boards
Most communitites have various bulletin boards where individuals and businesses can post information or advertisements. These are often found in colleges, libraries, super markets, and community centers. Most of these require you to ask permission before posting your flyer or pamphlet. This type of free local advertising is especially good when targetted to the normal visitor to each place: students, stay at home Moms, and people involved with township business.
Free Local Advertising - Door to Door Pamphlets
This method of free local advertising is very popular among take out restaraunts and local businesses. If you have the time to go door to door, or finances to pay runners, putting small pamphlets or door knob hangers at individual houses may be a wise business move. Never put anything in or on a mailbox, as this is federal government property. This type of free local advertising works well with home service businesses as well as those that are physically located in the vicinity.
Free Local Advertising - Paper Boy Collaboration
One way to get your advertisement in front of a large number of people is to collaborate with the paper boy or newspaper delivery person. Paper delivery people are usually required to purchase their own newspaper bags, thus making them outside the property of the newspaper office. It may be possible to get a delivery person to insert your ad in the same bag as the newspaper.
Free Local Advertising - Car Signs and Stickers
In some locations, it is against the rules to put commercial signs on family cars. Check with local ordinances and your insurance company. However, it is a great way to get free local advertising. You can print out your own sign on the computer and attach it to your car window, bumper, or doors.
Free Local Advertising - Community Papers
Many communities and townships have their own small newspapers and periodicals. These can be as simple as basic newsletters that go out to members of the community. These community papers offer multiple outlets for free local advertising. Not only can you often get a free classified ad in the paper, you may submit an article or press release about your business.
Free local advertising methods can be very effective for your business. Whether you work online or have a neighborhood location for your business, free local advertising will save you money and increase profits.

Sorry, repost..the comment dsiplayed poorly.
Going door to door is not free.
To send out 1000 door hangers costs about $680 in labor and hanger costs.
Pizza places are notorious for this.
At a 3% return, thats 33 customer. Each customer needs to buy $23 or more for them to break even.
Not a good return on investment.
There are much better ways.
