Ads in local newspapers can be quite inexpensive. You could put up flyers in local supermarkets, churches, etc., and even see if you can put up a sign in local automotive/motorcycle dealerships, automotive parts stores, and other places where potential customers can see it. If you don't have a sign out in front of your house, you should think about putting one out there. And if you can join the local chamber of commerce, that's a good way to network potential customers.

try a road side billboard. Maybe that will work.

The media in your town, Billboards, Radio and TV. You need good slogans and a very attractive logo for your business. Good luck. If you need help, I'm very good in suggesting.

Sponsor an ad on 1800-free411. You could have your add played to callers requesting a number of a motor cycle shop in Houston, when they like your ad they can press a button and get connected to you. If the call is below 30 secs it probably isn't a new customer for you and you are not charged.

Hey you can even do a SwitchPitch - whenever someone calls to request your competitor's phone number, have your ad with your special played and catch their customers ;)

Maybe you can find some ideas in the links below. Regarding word of mouth, one idea is to hand out free samples of something to people who blog. Ask them to begin blogging about the product and generating "buzz."
