Advertising a small business

I know I can't do it on here....but wondering how best to go about advertising my small business.
To give you a bit of background I create items and sell them from home mainly via a facebook page which has 1350+ 'likes' at the moment. I also work full time. All my earnings from this business are going into a wedding savings pot.
I currently advertise on local selling sites.
I recently went to a craft fair with a friend but it was very quiet and not worth my time sat all day twiddling my thumbs! Made v.little profit. In fact, I sold far more that day from my facebook page than from sitting at the fair!
I have sold a little on ebay and etsy, but prices have to be slightly higher here to cover fees.
Nearly all the income is coming from facebook.
Any other ideas how to promote?

Perhaps a post in the small business forum will get you more advice.

You can create a website for the products you made and then promote it through google.
use all kinds of social media options to promote such as fb,twitter,myspace,squiddo and others..u can use fiverr for it.
