I need help with something that has to do with business...?

I need help with something that has to do with my business. I dont really have alot of money right now and am just starting my very own business. Im not getting alot of traffic or requests for more information either. I am wondering if someone could give me some advice as to how to get more people interested. Ive tried just about everything I can think of including flyers, business packets, business cards, hosting shows, etc. Does anybody have any ideas that can help my business grow and is cost efficient?

    What type of business do you have? What business groups do you belong to? Have you invited the business that are on your street to come over and see your products/services? Have you posted an ad in the local newspaper to come and fill out a slip for a drawing? Who are the competitor in your area? Have you gone to their shop and see what they have to offer? What type of people can utilize your business; singles, married people, seniors, families with small children's?

    There are many factors in getting your business going. My insurance agent came to my house many years ago. He decided that he wanted everybody questions answered according to his commitment. He was offering homeowner insurance, and he had the personality to sell.

    He walked door to door in a three miles radius from his new office. He tried having teenagers pass out flyer's, and when people asked them questions they could not answer their questions. He found out later on that he lost potential clients because the kids did not bother to get their names and phone numbers.
