So I am on a marketing kick. Gotta get the name in front of potential clients-- 
looking for not-entirely-passive advertising.
 
I get plenty of referrals from my current clients, but the people they refer 
don't always follow through. My goal is work on Branding. I want to make my 
name visible in the community so whenever someon asks one of my clients, "where 
do you get your nails done?" and my clients says, "Maggie at the Art of Nailz 
does them." I want the reaction to be "OH! I know where that is!" or "I've 
heard of her!" or even better, "OMG! MAGGIE does your nails! She's AWESOME!"
 
So I am working on getting an ad displayed by a company that owns several giant 
monitors in various businesses around town and the monitors just scroll through 
a slideshow 24/7. There's a massage therapist on my floor who says she gets a 
fair amount of new business from this slideshow.
 
And-- if they ever call me back-- I'm looking at the possibility of putting ads 
on shopping carts too.
 
Now I'm looking into Facebook ads. Pricing seems reasonable in that I can 
control it, even though it's a bidding system, so I don't know how effective 
it'll be-- essentially I'd be paying to invite people to become a fan of my 
salon fan page. Seems stupid to pay to do that, except it DOES target people 
(11,530 of them) in the appropriate area and demographics that might otherwise 
never see my name.
 
Which is all well and fine, except I can't find anything on FB about cancelling 
ads. I see I can put ads on "pause" and not accrue charges while ads are 
paused-- anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has given this a try?
