One of the most important parts of any business is advertising. Whether you're working from home online or you have a brick and mortar business, no one will know about your goods or services if they don’t know you have a business. The key to your success is reaching your target audience, and you can only do that with effective advertising. Although you may put thousands of dollars into advertising, it won't mean anything if you don't reach the right people.

For example, if you have a home business based on the distribution of snow blowers, you don't want to advertise to people who live where there is none. Your target audience for this product would be people in areas where snow is imminent during certain times of the year. Advertising to Alaska would be wise use of your advertising budget, while advertising to Hawaii would not be economical. For some products your target audience may change, especially if you distribute them internationally. You must consider the seasons that are opposite yours, i.e., countries in which the summer occurs during your winter.

Advertising is likely to be the most expensive part of your home business budget, especially during the beginning stages when you’re trying to attract people. When you invest in advertising for your business, you also invest in future income. Certainly you can use some of the free online advertising methods, but you gain more exposure for your home business if you invest in some fee-based advertising. In fact, some of the fee-based classified ads offer many more features than those in the basic free packages such as bolded type, HTML code and a larger number of prospects, for instance.

Since some advertising methods are more effective than others, you should take the time to determine the best method for your business. If you own a local business, that might be newspaper ads and/or direct mailing in the form of flyers and mail inserts that are sent to households. For an online home-based business, classified advertisements on the Internet will probably not be very effective, while a website that is optimized for SEO (search engine optimization) is your best tool along with direct emailing to those who have requested information. In many cases, the method you choose is done by trial and error, so you want to be prepared to make use of more than one type of advertising. The most expensive is probably the Yellow Pages, although that would probably be productive if you have a traditional brick and mortar business.
