One of the stories that stuck out to me this week was Fix Auto's announcement of their advertising campaign on the Weather Network. It's a pretty in-depth partnership that I'm sure will do wonders to get their name out there.

Self-interested fellow that I am, I began to wonder how I'd put together a campaign, which would inevitably be on a shoe-string budget. So I thought I'd put the question out there: what have been some effective ways that you've found to get your facility's name out there?

I'd like to collect some of the responses--perhaps the answers will be helpful to others looking for opportunities to promote their businesses.

Take care,
