Hi there,
I would suggest to get more traffic is to work on your organic search engine optimization. I took a look at your site and could not find much of a hint of SEO. You can optimize each page, starting your your title tag and working your way down for on page optimization. Do you have any inbound links point to your site to help build your domain authority? I would start using a tool like Wordtracker to research keywords you can work into your website. In the source area I will list some great resources to help with SEO. This should help increase your traffic with not a lot of out of pocket money!

You should seriously think of tacking a blog onto the site. Make sure you update it regularly and offer rss and other feeds to your customers. This will help your customers see immediately when something is updated and they will come running. Also, search engines love blogs. The blog will feed more traffic into your site. Make sure your posts are relevent and key in on the keywords that your customers are searching for. Keep good track of your traffic and conversion rates and use it as a tool to pitch advertising to local businesses. Also research how much it costs per impression for regular print media in your area. You will find that you can offer your advertisers an incredibly attractive rate. Keep pitching, sell the ads. Sales is always a numbers game.

Small Business Marketing Strategy: Target the up-and-coming search engines
While Google still rules the roost when it comes to Internet search engines, and Yahoo is firmly entrenched in second spot, a number of new start-ups are hoping to give them a run for their money. And a good small business marketing strategy would be to check them out and see how you can make them work for your site!
Some of the new up-and-comers include:
Powerset (www.powerset.com): A "natural language" search engine
Hakia (www.hakia.com): A "meaning-based" search engine
Wikia(www.wikia.com): A "community-based" search engine
ChaCha(www.chacha.com): A "social networking-based" search engine
Snap (www.snap.com): A search engine that offers visual previews
It's a smart small business marketing strategy to continue optimizing for the Google, Yahoo, and MSN search engines as they are by far and away the most popular -- but niche search engines could provide new opportunities to reach your market. Be sure to check them out!

With the hits you're getting now, you are most certainly getting return visitors. If you aren't, then you need to revisit your content.
If the visitors you do get are satisfied, then you've got the best promoter out there and that is "word of mouth".
I can certainly understand wanting more hits to your site. Are you using a link tracker to see who's hitting your site?
Email me if you wish to discuss this further.
