I own a little restaurant in the college area of San Diego. I'm wondering if you can give me any tips for advertising my sandwich shop to the college students. Print advertising? Online Advertising? How much does it cost? Can you also give any ideas on special events or promotions to get customers in? Thanks!

I consider the constant advertising on all channels of TV & Radio by Harvey Norman as little more than brainwashing.It has reached the point of using the mute button on the remote every time their advert appears on sceen and turning off the radio when I hear it start. On principal due to this constant advertising I will not shop at their stores. I understand there has to be advertising but do not want to be told over and over again during a programme of the many sales and the offers of no payment for long periods of time. There are many others but I find this company the worst. At times the same items are advertised within few minutes of each other. If the watchdogs are contacted,the reply is pages of facts and figures to prove the companies are within the guidelines. Thank goodness for the ABC.Long may they remain advertising free.

When you own a website , how does the whole advertising thing work? For example, if i started a website that eventualy got tens of millions of hits a month, how would i get companies to advertise on my site? Would i approach them ? Would they approach me? Would they supply me the advertising banners? What sort of money is offered for advertising space? Basically: How does it all work ? If anyone could give me some feedback on it , i'd be most appreciative. Thanks !

what do companies spend on advertising? What is the percentage of sales that a consumer electronics company spends on advertising? How are advertising budgets decided?
