Best places for Advertising

I'm starting a catering business and wondered where people found the best places to advertise?

Leaflets, Magazines,Newspapers,Twitter, Facebook

Best by far to do multi Chanel advertising, some Facebook , print and digital banners would be a cost effective solution to start with, assuming you have a web site of course

That's the problem, see bold in the quote. We have found that our target market are not looking at Twitter for a source of information. The buyers were my age (fifty plus) but the younger buyers aren't using it either. We have found they use social media for private use but not business. We realise this does differ depending on your target market. We are business to business too, not targeting domestic market.

Edit - forgot to bold twitter.

Have you tried LinkedIn? (business social network).

Have you tried LinkedIn? (business social network).

Yes, I've been on it a few several years as an individual. Some of our target may hang out there, not sure how many potential customers. Our existing customers don't use it. We are planning to activate our business linkedin account. Andrews is going on a training course next month to learn more about business linkedin accounts.

If you're not getting business to business business from Twitter you're probably not using it correctly.
