Advertising Photography in a new area?

[Amy]

I would do a few shoots for the people you DO know (such as coworkers and neighbors) and have them post the pictures on their facebooks and stuff so people can see what you can do and get business off of them.

Places to drop flyers and cards are usually available at coffeshops, grocery stores, libraries, and other community centers.

You would most benefit from having a facebook page for your business that people can "like", that seems to work best with the photographers i know.
