Some good points above. Here is what we do. We do a lot of what I call personal marketing. Networking groups, Chambers of Commerce, etc. Then we do some cold calling for accounts that I would like to have. This is how we built our business and we still do it today. The only thing different is that now most of our new business comes from the internet. However, I don't spend money on the internet except for a couple of things. Angie's list is about all we spend money on online.
What I have done is go down to the University of Houston Small Business Development Center twice a month. They have free search engine optimization classes and this has helped my website rank really well and I get 5 or 6 new customers a week from this on average.
I would suggest learning how to make your website rank well and using that to help your marketing.
