Business Tip of the Week: Advertising Do's and Dont's

Now that you have your business open, how will you advertise? You may have a business marketing strategy that includes:

• Using social media sites such as Facebook 
• Online advertisement through sites like Groupon - which according to this Wall Street Journal article, more and more small businesses are turning to
• Or by being involved in your community, like sponsoring a Little League Team or joining the Monrovia Chamber of Commerce. 

Another approach is distributing flyers and avertisements door to door, an action that is allowed under your Monrovia business license. However, you can't put them just anywhere. TIP: Don't put flyers on businesses or homes that have a "No Solicitation" sign posted, and do not put them on cars.
