Ju Shi – Starting A Web/Branding Design Company

So my friend and I are talking about starting a web design and development/branding and identity design solutions company. I would be doing most of the designing, and he would be doing the development and programming. I think it would be an interesting, and possibly lucrative endeavour. It would be a nice supplement to my income right now, and it would give me good solid experience in dealing with customers and different design problems. The only issue we are running into is figuring out how to get our name out there without using gobs of money on advertising. Would we just hand out our business cards to everyone we see and hope they all own a small business and need web or branding solutions? I don’t know. That seems like a silly way to do things, but it would be free. lol We could attend new small business owner meetings, but would these new small business owners have the money for our services? Perhaps. In any case the name we have decided on thus far for our business is EWBO “Creative Solutions Duo”. EWBO stands for Everything Will Be Ok. I thought this would be a kool kind of trademark for us. If your small business needs web or branding design solutions, we can give you those solutions and Everything Will Be Ok. I thought it would be kind of a comfort to people we are working with. The logo is pretty much done and we have a site concept as well. I will post the site concept (which has the logo) under all of this. If any of you people out there can think of a good cheap or free way of getting our name out to small businesses please let me know. It would be endlessly appreciated.
