Radio has returned absolutely zero to us so I stopped feeding that one. Mail, we never tried. For the regular service, we actually put flyers on windshields at the local "wal-marts", yeah I know, I hate those things on my windshield but it works. We hit them up on Sundays, 11:30am and then around 1-1:30 and 3:30 or so. Busy times there, flyers really simple, few words and a price.
However, for businesses, the best thing that works for us is being a member of the local chamber of commerce, going to the monthly get together to network and putting a flyer in the chamber newsletter. Networking in more ways than one. We got in good with 2 insurance salesmen............. They're big talkers, they practically forced some people to sign up with us. Very pushy people, those insurance guys........

We find the old 4x6 postcard works well, not expensive and many people see it since it's not in an envelope. Put an eye catching graphic on one side and then and some bullet points on the other side. We tried radio, but didn't have much luck...most people seem to drive to work listening to ipods or XM. Newspaper ads didn't really work well either...who reads newspapers anymore, although we did find some mild success with online ads through our local newspapers.
