Default What advertising?

I know this question has probably been asked before but as a new plumber in West Yorkshire, what is the best way to advertise?

Gumtree, Vivastreet, Post office, Local Free Mag, Yell.com (Free Or Pay), Friday Ad, news agents, Drop odd business cards in B&Q, Homebase (just don't get court) Phone tilers tell them your working around the area, have your name on your van (make sure it stands out from the rest) and if your short of work post Flyers (door to door)

Cheers uug

Going out this morning with leaflets, I hate letterboxes with hard bristles, they ruin your leaflets I need some kind of flat conduit that I can push through the door then just drop the flyer though it.
Thanks for your advise.

Did first job today (toilet flap valve, one piece syphon and cistern 'welded to the tiles' with tile adesive and silicon) but I've been setting up for a a few months.
