I didn't see it but I remember there being a thread here a while back about promoting web design services. I'm pretty much of the opinion that word of mouth and traditional advertising (newspaper) are probably the best ways to promote design services but...
I have some extra money in the Adsense account, and since I offer adverting services it seems a little hypocritical not to do any advertising myself.
So I thought I'd put a couple ads together geared toward local businesses. Here is a real generic first attempt:
I live out in a pretty rural area and technology seems to catch on a little slowly but I figure hey, worth a shot. My idea was that the handful of web design companies around here all suck, so I'd mention that I'm local and don't suck.
So I guess my question is:
you think something simple like this would be best, or should I focus maybe on a real specific offer, or a specific pain point for small businesses. Guess I can try them all but feel free to throw some ideas out if you have any. Or tell me how much my ad sucks.
