I run a small travel company and am starting to run out of advertising ideas to attract the older generation, website and online advertising doesnt work for the target audiance im after, newspaper ads are fine but very costly on a weekly basis. I'd be gratefull for any ideas.

Are you part of your local chamber of commerce? If not, then join and network with people.
Use promotional products that relate to your service to promote your business.
Like give people a pocket photo album with your travel agency name imprinted on it.

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 : A "natural language" search engine
Hakia : A "meaning-based" search engine
Wikia : A "community-based" search engine
ChaCha : A "social networking-based" search engine
Snap : 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!
