Start with market research, so you can make a market strategy.

And you will be updated with customers thinking about their buying patterns.
You will also get information on the current market trend, and be updated on what your competitor does

Target your market where your product is needed or service, and customers are willing to pay for it.

Take a risk in business and create opportunities, to build your business strong.

Marketing a business whether big or small needs a drive. You should be willing to be consistent with the strategies, not just doing for few weeks then you relax. If you have social media accounts you can market it on your pages for free but if you have the money for paid ads you can go with paid ads on facebook. You can also go out and verbally tell people about your business, you can also print flyers and distribute if you are not the outspoken type. Just keep creating awareness about what you offer and do it consitently to drive sales

Your topic is needing in details so maybe what I can say is just a general marketing approach. If your business can be marketed online then exploit the followers and friends of your social media accounts. Let's say you have 1,000 Facebook friends. When you promote your business more likely about a quarter of the 1,000 can read your post. Ask their support to share your post and to tap their friends and relatives for the possible engagement to your business. If your business if purely offline then my take is to use the traditional advertising like the poster or billboard. You can also distribute flyers if that is applicable to your business.Nevertheless it is hard work to do marketing work but if you do it right then customers will come and sales will be more.

First I must say that you should have said the type of small business that you have started , so that we can be able to know what to advise you .
Having said that , I think you need to first of all before starting the business have a business feasibility plan which will help you to know how feasible the business will be , offer you a good knowledge of your competitors and how to tackle their effects .
Secondly , since you said you have an office , I think you need to advertise you office by constructing a bill board that will show people that your office are located at the said place .
Finally , you need to be able to bear in mind that no business grows in days , some takes time before they can start to yield fruits .

1. Characterize the objective populace

Characterizing objective populace is fundamental and important advance in picking your promoting technique. It gives the legitimate socioeconomics which help in choosing the most fitting promoting plan for your business.

2. Test your crowd

Make a speculative cycle of purchasing to test your crowd. When you know the purchasing conduct of your intended interest group, you can choose more fitting showcasing technique.

3. Think about advertising procedures

However, I am not experienced in business that I can advise you. But, as of my opinion you should look for some opportunities online if you are looking for making sales. As you will find some of the companies which can boost your company via marketing services. It will cost you money but for the trial also many webs give. You can also look for sites where you can sell products like on playerup, Digistore24, etc.

If you are looking for marketing via email, you can use Herculist Plus. Although, they have a free version which sends 1000 emails to their members. Other email marketing service is also available. I can't remember the names of them right now.

I think two steps marketing is the most cost effective method of marketing small business. Two steps marketing involves generating leads for your products with free offer and later upsell and downsell the prospects.

This two step marketing is also know as mail order marketing. You can do this model of marketing both online and offline. Buts it's more easier to be done online as there are some tools that makes the whole process easy.

The first step is to look for the place where your audience hang out and place adverts with free offer in order to draw them out and gain their contacts. Once you have their contacts, you can then follow them up with irresistible offer.

there are a lot of ways you can market a small business and sometimes if you have a small business the competition between the small one and large company will be tremendous and as a result you need to have a good marketing strategy to be able to compete with the bigger ones,another another thing that might help you to succeed as a small company is for you to always try as much as possible to deliver a quality job to a client and this will increase your trust,social media is another great place you can meet a group of prospective consumers

It depends on the target area and your budget. If your target area is limited to a city or country then I would suggest using a promotional product for this purpose. As they are the best portable billboard for your brand and services. But if your plan is to expand your business around the world, then online marketing is also good like SEO, PPC, social media campaigns.

Note - SEO and social media can also be effective in targeting people in a city or a country.
