Calling All Fellow Entrepreneurs

This month's blog is more of a call to action than an editorial. Fellow business owners, I am looking for your suggestions! Since we opened here at A Dog's Dream almost six months ago to-the-day, we have been trying an array of different techniques to get the word out. The plan was to stick to grassroots marketing and spend as little money as possible; but, like many others, we have gotten sucked in to the trap of paying big money for serious advertising.

So the question is this: If you could recommend one technique or idea that was the most successful for you to get the word out about your new business and acquire new customers, what would it be?
