I spend £50 an month yell.com yellow pages/ £280 a month leaflets paid £500 for website with £100 a year for hosting and adverts in local paper just getting started its all a numbers game working out what works yellow pages yel.com been quite good, leaflets better approx 5-10 jobs per £1000 but a pain to deliver and expensive to get someone to do it for you plus not as targeted and reliable as doing it yourself, website i see as a slow burner worth doing though.
