all of the above! lol.
I would do what ever you can to promote yourself!
Definatly wear your own work, always carry your business cards, and ask to leave leaflets/ business cards in local shops.
I can recommend vista print for business cards;
www.vistaprint.co.uk (follow this link for a free sample, just pay P&P)
www.vistaprint.co.uk/frfuk?frf=480916462980 (follow this link to recieve 25% off your order)
The bottom link is good if you want your cards to have a blank back or want one of the designs not on the free offer.
Hope this helps you

I did a leaflet drop round some posh estates and it seemed to do well. Thought I was going to Posh & Becks house one day- just for a pedicure! Post office windows, hairdressers, anywhere that has ads up. Yell.com has worked for me to.

personally the only source of advertising that has worked for me was in my local press.This particular newspaper is delivered free through out the borough every wednesday.Leaflet drops,shop window ads and even handing out leaflets in the street has all ben a waste of time for me.I know every one rants and raves about WORD OF MOUTH but you have to get the first few clients from some where in order to have someone to spread the word.

Try advertising nail parties...if you are happy to do them that is. It's a great way to get lots of people at once and to sell some retail products.

It's funny as different things seem to work for different peeps. Ads in freebie papers has never brought me work. Best ones for me are YP (display ad), Thomson Local and Yell.com.

I give my clients A5 posters to display on their staff noticeboard too.

Actually I've used this type of signage and these type of signs can do rather well promoting business' and letting people know who you are and what you do, Quiet a few years ago I owned a Security Business that was one of the major players in the Security Ind of South East Queensland ( australia )
I had several brand new cars and a big 4WD twin cab that I had the business' logo etc spraypainted on them, for the static guards and temp workers I had; I supplied them with the magnetic signs when they were required to use their own security vehicles... One drawback tho for these... they are easily stolen off your car
