Finding My First Customers ... Looking for tips from ppl that have done it!

[pjr710]

My company is a promotional model agency. We have a network of promotional models from around the US that are experienced in promotions and selling. They can be used at trade shows, bars, street team promotions, car shows, and events.

I'm trying to get a list of fundamental ways to find new customers. So far I'm using AdWords, and email blasting trade show attendees.

AdWords has brought in somewhat random inquiries, and email blasting has a few bites but no catches yet. I think it depends on the show to be honest.

What are some other good ways to start getting the message out and finding my first paying customers?
