It will depend on what type of business your involved in.

Now a days, the business directories are also highly used to find any product or service.

I still see internet marketing is the best way to do marketing. Specially when your product is global since there are billions of people going to the internet. The best internet marketing for me are adwords, ppc, social networking and white hat seo. But there are also local marketing such as local business directories would be great if you get listed.

Well, if you want to give your services then you should use social networking sites like facebook and twitter etc.

There are a lot of techniques to promote your product in local audience. I think you should design a web site and optimize it in local search engine.

1. reate a marketing plan.
2. Build your own referral network of business professionals that you send clients to and receive clients from.
3. Put up posters or business cards in public libraries, meeting places and local businesses.
