My I am in automotive industry, mobile repairs (we repair scratches, cracks, dents, and holes in plastic bumpers). The area that I am trying to target is LA and Orange County. Thanks in advance.

You might also want to consider hiring a PR (public relations) firm. In addition to run-of-the-mill newspaper ads, they work to get your name in newpapers either through articles about you, or in cases when a reporter needs an expert on a given subject they can quote you.

Bumperguy, my answer would actually depend on what type of advertising do you want to do? (Is it Internet marketing (Google search ads/ banner ads) or news paper/magazine ads etc.) Depending on that, I may have someone for you. My contacts are more in Internet Marketing than otherwise.

I've been own my own for about a year and i have been doing this for 3 years... I had my someone else do my ads for me and I wanted to break off from that so I can start doing it myself. It was a good idea to start me up... And now i think it would be better off if i do my own add rather than pay someone to do it since its a small service company....
