Printed Advertising for Designers

[SJH]

Hi all,

I'm looking to promote my website design services in the local area, namely by placing small ads in local publications and on noticeboards around town (worth a try, no?) Unfortunately I have no experience with non web-based advertising so.

When creating printed ads what do I need to remember? What sort of sales copy should I include? I don't want to bombard viewers with technical jargon as they'll most probably overlook it.

I want a simple, eye-catching design. Is there anyone else that's done similar things who could show me examples of ads they've posted? Has it been effective?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for all the questions

-Sam

I would say its worth a try! Especially in the local area, hopefully you get people seeing and suddenly thinking they could do with a website.
