Hey Kjorg -- DH and I are brainstorming marketing ideas for his business as well.....

Mailings can be expensive.  Maybe print off your own flyers and hire a few teenagers to put them in mailboxes around the neighborhoods? (If that's allowed?)  

Definitely go with an ad in the Yellow Pages

Do your local supermarkets have a "Community Bulletin Board?"  Ours does and it allows some small business to put their flyer up there for a certain period of time.

You said the newspaper was expensive.  We have a weekly "paper" that comes out that is 90% local advertising.  The rest is community events and a restaurant review or two -- it's not really a "news"paper, if you know what I mean.  If your community has something like that, maybe it would be cheaper?
