local marketing

ACA wants FCC to look into effect of local marketing agreements on retrans...

I'm considering new strategies to recruit clients for my Network services and IT consulting business. I've made a list of target businesses in my, relatively small, market and I had planned to send post cards out.

But after receiving a cold cal from a local marketing firm the other day it got me thinking about that as a viable strategy, there are roughly 100 businesses on my list so calls would be viable if spread out over a week or two.

Does anybody have feedback on these two marketing strategies, or an alternative method that might work as well?

My wife and I have been making and selling hand-made, semi-precious jewelry for the last 5 years.

People really love the variety, quality, unique designs and the price. We usually use chunky stones and therefore named the business as Chunky n Chic.

As we grow, should keep the name or change it?
