I was intrigued by this article here. Don’t feel like a fool!
From the why-didn’t-I-think-of-that file, we present Jason Sadler, a man whose full-time job is wearing T-shirts.
[We’ll pause for a moment to give you a chance to kick yourself.]
Here’s how it works: Every day, he wears a T-shirt from a different company. He blogs about it. Tweets about it. Uploads photos. Plus, he does a live-streaming video on YouTube every day at 3pm, where he answers viewer questions.
“I am a full-time T-shirt wearer,” Sadler explains.
Companies pay him anywhere from $1 to $365 to wear their shirt, based on the day of year. Jan. 1 is $1, the 2nd is $2, and so on, until Dec. 31, which is — you guess it — $365.

During tough economic times word-of-mouth recommendations for your products and services may produce the same result as an advertisement with out the cost.
While word-of-mouth is a great start you can always do more.

Keeping up with your clients is easier then ever before. Blog software and online newsletter services make contacting your client more efficient and less expensive.

Businesses are turning to Facebook, YouTube, blogs etc. to post customer reviews, information on new products and how-to tips. Customers appreciate free advice and when they need a service that your business offers, they are more likely to remember the name of your business.

Advertising does not have to cost a lot of money. Some of the most effective ads can be very inexpensive.
Word-of-mouth advertising is often misunderstood. It cannot be passive if it is to be effective. You have to ask customers and friends and acquaintances for referrals- ask them to tell their pals about what a good job you do.
