When trying to call attention to your small business on a small budget, traditional marketing strategies might lack a bang for lack of bucks.

FIVERR IT FOR FIVE BUCKS!

?While we haven?t had the most success with this, it was worth testing anyways ? on Fiverr, you can hire anyone around the world to do almost anything you need for $5 a job. It?s fun, and while it might not help you gain thousands of new sales, you might be surprised with how you, your employees and your community appreciate the fun little things you try out from time to time.?

GO TO COLLEGE

?Stunt marketing at the city-level can get pricey, due to required permissions, permits, insurance and other costs. For a budget-conscious startup, consider doing a stunt campaign at a local college or university instead. The costs will be lower ? helpful for a startup ? while the impact can still be comparable. Invite local reporters to maximize your PR coverage after the event.?
