    The yellow pages and that may get the odd lead or two but everything is online. Gumtree ads can be successful but have you tried Facebook advertising. It can be very cheap if done right and you can profile your customer age, gender etc and only show it to your target audience within a fairly small geographical area. Come up with an attention grabbing ad and maybe do CPM which is usually around £0.03 per 1000 impressions or you can do pay per click which is way more. it's definitely worth playing around with especially if you do something a little different, offer Facebook only coupons or give discounts for social shares.
