    Direct marketing? Why don't you start by giving out promotional tools like flyers, brochures or printing out posters and business cards? They are one of the basic steps in doing business. They are very effective and very powerful if you just know how to create them properly.

    Using postcards is a very effective way of direct marketing.

    To get the business owner's email address from the gatekeeper is not going to be easy, unless you resort to lying, and of course that is not recommended. One way you may want to try is call the businesses after hours where the gatekeeper is gone and you might get to talk to the business owner directly.

    Spending on the niche you are targeting, try calling the association that registers or regulates them (if one exists). They will probably have a list of the business withe the names of the owner.
