A few ideas:
1) Flyers & Business Cards - Who are your customers & where do they shop (e.g. grocery, home improvement stores, etc)? Post flyers where your customers frequent.
2) Advertise Locally -- Newspapers, Craigslist, Yahoo! Local
3) Word of Mouth -- Offer a great service & people will talk.
4) Mailers -- Send out coupons, specials, etc.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Network a couple PCs together and hold a weekly High Score competition. WIn 50% off a game or something. Then advertise where kids hang out.
Teach something. Get them to come to your store once a week to learn how to .....

Advertise your shop in places where gamers hang out.

Some websites offer free promotions especially for start ups. I know atomsfamily.net does it for a friend who does motocross and atomsfamily.net has a gaming section maybe they will help you. it's worth a try.
