Incentives
Run Online contests & intencitize the experience. This tip needs you to spend some money for a prize, but a number of participants and new potential customers you will get is worth the price.

Create a YouTube channel or other video sharing sites and upload your videos there. You can also try slide-sharing sites and publish your presentation.
Ol’ fashioned Marketing
Send some sales letters. Send it to people you think may be able to make use of the product you sell, don’t forget to describe your business well about how it can help them. Try to also include a business card in the letter you send and combine periodically with sending a postcard. Get yourself an awesome business card, have a ton of them, and give it to every person you meet and know.
The Pen is always Mightier
Write an article. Write about your expertise in the particular field and send it to magazines, newspapers, or websites that are in the same field as yours that accept writings from experts. Be sure to include your name, business name, and contact number of your company in the article. However, do not show that you are advertising your business because the editor may not want to publish it on their platform. If you have your article published, the exposure is quite excellent.
Referrals
Create a customer referral program. Offer a free product or free month of service to your existing clients. You can also give them some rewards for referring new customers. Mouth-to-mouth referral is powerful stuff, if you can make people talking about your business, the impact is incredibly high.
