How Do You Advertise a Very Normal Product?

[Forza]

Say you have an antiaging skincare product that sells from your website. Nothing too special about your product. It's simple, works well, and goes for a reasonable price. A similar product sells well in another country, but your country is way smaller and internet sales would probably be very small. You have very limited capital. Would running ads once per week in a major local newspaper be inefficient use of money? What are better ways for such a product?
