New Business Sussex

My father is about to open a new computer store - It will repair computers and laptops, and sell used laptops refurbished game consoles (Xbox 360, etc.) digital cameras, LCD TVs - Basically, any type of entertainment electricals!

As I have a dog grooming business, he asked me to help advertise, but 99% of my business is word-of-mouth and Internet! Other than online sites you can recommend other good places to advertisea

The shop is in Bexhill, East Sussex (United Kingdom)

My son has a similar activity
He began by advertising on the Yellow Pages (his beloved), he also left leaflets in Chinese and Indian carry out places where people are waiting around
Then he went out ads in local newspapers, and of course he has a website, which has
"Search Engine Optimized '

Now it is established, word of mouth is his best advertisement with its optimized website

The best place to advertise businesses of this kind is whether local shop windows, free local paper, yellow pages etc. mainly because they are people first tend to look when it goes wrong computer. He could also try to get some leaflets printed and submitted to some doors that will not obviously lead to a massive influx of business, but if you deliver enough there to make things happen.

He should try talking to local businesses to see if they can promote their business, for example, some electrical retailers (local - no comet) would be happy to local fixer / mender and who better to promote their business when their product s proves to be dead!

As a local company, your audience will be the region, so local radio spots, newspapers, shop windows and whatever community-based help. :)
