    Offering freebies like stickers with orders is supposed to work pretty well and would probably generate word of mouth advertising, especially among teens. Plus everyone likes freebies. I'm not sure if this can really be considered free advertising since it requires a minimal initial investment, but on the other hand is no different buying some of your own products to generate advertising.

    Buy a totebag with your business infortmation on the side and carry it as a purse. People do look at them. I did that with a photo bag ones and had my information on both sides. I had several people ask me about it, so I gave them a business card after I told them about it.

    Ever notice how a lot of people (teens mostly) Will stick nearly ANY, usually branded, sticker they come in contact with on their binder, car, etc as long as it looks cool? Order or print out your own branded stickers and hand them around, chances are that they are going to end up stuck to something!!

    Car decals are great for advertising, but at Zazzle, you can make your own bumper stickers that actually display your art designs and your url. Though you pay for this one time, over the lifetime of exposure, your costs come out to be next to nothing...a great investment to be sure! My favorite product on Zazzle are the the sneakers, which you can add your logo, art and url to and trust me, they will be asking...a truly unique advertising format!

    You can also make t-shirts and/or hoodies with your business logo, description of what you sell, and website URL on them. Use them along with the bags/totes & business cards that rainbow suggested. With your logo all over the place, you're bound to be asked about it. (o:

    Donate your product, or a gift basket of products, to a charity to use as a raffle prize or part of a silent auction, or as a door prize, etc.

    The charity gets a donation, you get publicity and feel good, the winner gets good stuff. It's a win-win-win situation!
