You cannot just do it once, and be content with the small amount of traffic a small promotion push will garner you. Your presence needs to be on going, you need to be in people’s faces and you need to ensure that your site is in people’s eye sight as often as possible.
You need to ensure not only that you get full advantage taken from the free advertising resources out there and ideas provided from your research, but you may also want to combined free research with some well placed paid ads on search engines, and articles written up on trade sites that target the audience you are attempting to capture. You need to be able to get the biggest bang for your buck, with a combination of paid and free advertising. You will hit the maximized amount of audience you can, and that will greatly increase the pool of people that may visit your site. Advertising is not easy as it is unpredictable how many people will visit. Just like a store attracting customers, all you can do is dress up the store front, it’s ultimately up to the customer if they choose to come in!
