Are you getting tired of me yet? I love simple marketing, so just tell me to go away when you've had enough...
How about printing your business card on fabric and then quilting it? Just something simple, but it would be very memorable.
I have embroidered business cards and they always create a stir.

Yes, the economy is a drawback. But I ain't doing it for nothing just as I am sure you are not!

My LA just started a loyalty program. Punch cards. You get a punch for every so much you spend and a punch for every friend you refer.
Do an email newsletter with quilting hints...very low key and include a coupon once a quarter or so.
Start a blog. Facebook. Cards and flyers on your area. More than one guild. The magnetic sign on the car is good too. On several of the Yahoo groups you can post an ad once a month. Get you work displayed like in churches, hospitals, any place alot of people go.

Also, if your quilt shop does any special programs, see if you can quilt the quilt (wow, sounded redundant). We have strippers club where each month they make a quilt with 2.5" strips. Then we go in, there's a floor show, and they show how to do the quilt. They always have it professionally quilted and say who did. I know if I was going to pay to get something quilted, the 2 names that come to mind are the 2 gals who usually do the strippers quilts since I hear one of their names every month. Great publicity there
