I don't know that there are any marketing strategies that are foolproof. It's all about cost and benefit, supply and demand, etc.
Are you looking to start a beauty salon? It would help to know that in providing a better answer for you.

Well there are a lot of them, but what I found really worked, is to get mouths talking about it, hand out your business card to everyone (give 10%off on the back if you want), leave it at restaurants, gas stations, random people in the mall, parking lot... Put adds in the paper. I don't know where your location is... but sandwich boards on the sidewalk, find the most read newspaper and advertise in it. Also another cheap way to advertise is go to the post office and put fliers in as many boxes... they usually charge around 0.10 per box. Have a grand opening, invite the press,. well that's all I can think of off the top of my head...

Good, helpful answer above! It is true that there are a lot of marketing strategies. And, it is also true that none of them are foolproof. I like the idea about advertising a discount on the back of a business card. I give a discount for one of my businesses during certain, special times of the year. Also, in agreement with the answer above, word-of-mouth is of course also very important.
Having a business plan is also very important. For how develop one that works for you, you might like to check out the information on the following site: http://www.sba.gov/
For further ideas about advertising, you might want to have a look at information that is on the following links.

A quote from one of the answers in the links above:
For your last question I am just going to summarize the things that I have already mentioned above; in my previous post to you and add just a little bit more. Advertise - Internet and newspapers, hang a small advertising "shingle" out with the little pull-off tabs with the name and contact information on it anywhere you can find a public bulletin board where you allowed to advertise businesses. You can find such bulletin boards in bowling alleys, restaurants, Quick-Mart type places, Laundromats, grocery stores, small town libraries, etc. Just takes a little "leg work." Some Sundays I go for a drive with some friends along and pick a quadrant of the Quad Cities to go hang out my "shingles" and also have some fun with my friends. Get into the Yellow Pages of the phone book eventually.
