This is why signs and posters can be so beneficial when starting your business.
To get a good response, you want to have a lot of exposure and one way to do that is to make a large type, clearly printed sign or poster and place it in a high traffic area.
Here's what you need.
1. 11x17 inch card stock paper - This paper can be found a la carte at some copy shops, however, it is often hard to find in some areas.

They have other locations as well and they can be reached by dialing them direct. They specialize in many types of paper. 11x17 card stock cost about $20 for 250 sheets, so you figure that's less that 10 cents each.

TIPS
-Post your signs in highly visible areas, preferably in the early morning hours for 30 minutes to no more than 2 hours at a time. You can start a round at say 6, 7 or 8 am and beat the heavier traffic when scouting out good, high visibility locations such as major intersections and the such.
-Don't over-do your signage in any one area. You don't want anyone in the community to have a reason to resent you and your signs because, say, you're posting too many of them.
-"Crimp" the signs as you post them. Place 2 staples near the top middle, 2 near the center middle and two at the bottom middle for a stable hold. Crimping the signs as you post them to keep them from being "flat" where they can be more easily blow around by wind and the like.
-Always as yourself "Is it visible?". In other words, will a reasonable amount of people see it?
-Using an Earnware Toll Free phone number, you have the ability to capture every single phone number who calls it, so that you won't miss the chance to get back to anyone. Also, you have the ability to block any numbers that you don't want to receive calls from.
