Per my dad (40+ years in advertising):

word of mouth beats everything. But it doesn't pay too much for the ad agency....

also consider:
promotional items (fridge magnets, bookmarks)
in-kind posters (in hair studios for portraiture photography, etc)
local newspaper
charitable donations (consider the audience carefully)

Per an advertising agency - internal use only ...

The best advertising is Free - see word of mouth above.
