A word of caution: I have had minimal success with newspaper ads. Other computer repair specialists I've spoken to generally agree: newspapers don't work.

Same here... I ran 6 front page ads and didn't see any changes in site visits. I would save up your money and get a billboard or advertise in a local small business magazine. Its much more expensive but simply put.. people are looking in the newspaper for news.
