My small restaurant could do with some promotion in Sherman Oaks. How would you best suggest we promote it? Website is www.gotgourmet.com if interested or have ideas for us.

Join your local Chamber Of Commerce if you have not already , there you will have endless resources to advertise and promote your business to other business owners and also the community tat it is located.
Hope That Helps.

Your pizzas look mighty delicious! I'll be sure to stop by. I would suggest perhaps you advertise in all the local free newpapers..."Studio City Sun", "Sherman Oaks Sun". The LA Weekly has a restaurant issue once a year. You should advertise there or try to get a write up. You should try and get Zagat Rated and make sure you have reviews online in places like Citysearch.com and Gayot.
Also, perhaps it's worth hiring a publicist to contact the LA Times, Los Angeles Magazine and Jonathan Gold from LA Weekly to try and get some features or reviews written about your place.
Have a look out for community events too. Maybe you can set up a booth at a local Farmer's Market or something at Los Angeles Valley College when they host events.

Send invitations out to local food critics to let them know you're open.
You can also see about contacting local media personalities, radio and tv, about your store.
If you can afford to do so, send out special offers in the mail, especially through one of those multi-flier packs.
You could also set up to do some sample giveaways to people passing by outside. Hand out a coupon for a free drink or a free dessert with a meal with the sample.

Start with a leaflets first. Spread it to the nearest location. after your business grow, you can make another type of promotion like Poster or even at TV.

hey perhaps make a call out to local artists who would like to hang their work on the walls..... then have an opening and well people may buy food and get to know about your restaurant.... also the call for work will generate some name recognition.

Have some yard signs silkscreened (cheapest way) and put them up. Somewhere near the restaurant with an arrow pointing and Now Open!
I'm a designer, email me if you want me to set one up for you. (I'm bored, no charge)
A yard sign is 18''x24'' standard.

you have posted your question in the wrong category...
you would probably be better served if you posted it in Business & Finance > Advertising & Marketing
