I think you are mostly right, traditional advertising hasn’t really been all that successful yet and I’m not really gung ho about them either, but at the same time I see my much larger and more established competitors doing it, so why can’t I? But it is quite obvious it is toxic.
I need to find more places to share knowledge about what I know. I really am looking more for beta testers and pilot projects than real customers at this point.

when i was doing my own biz my ads i delivered them to the letterboxes of the areas i was trying to get customers in
i tried one time to do this in bulk with a big letterbox delivery spam company, spent $700 on it, and got zero responses, out of 5000
i estimated that with a laser printer and personal delivery i got 1% response rate, so on equal volumes that means 50, so, comparing, zero versus 1%
most methods of advertising are extremely excessive in volume and indiscriminate in the targets
it's probably the same for you
i picked my areas... places with nice lawns and nice cars, places where people had the money to pay someone to come and fix their PC
Did warn you I was biased! But perhaps my response was a bit heavy. You can of course do whatever you want but I would stand by the inefficiency of mainstream channels.
Have you come across this before? Might be worth a look through the communities 😉
Had another look at your site and think the OS tech part is very cool!
