Non hobby local advertising. Best ROI?

Marketing for this job is much easier! Lets say i had an established non hobby business. Its kind of a niche market . You are already listed on most search engine sights already. If you have a 500 budget, just to start, where would be the best place to put your money into for advertising online? Go with something local? I keep hearing about Main Street Hub, but mixed reviews. A few others were mentioned that I know nothing about. I'm a novice, at best.

And what the hell is this thumbtack thing?! Worth it?

Most all advertising would be done online, BTW.

Thanks in advance!

For example, you could say show this ad to males between the ages of 25 and 45 who make over $150k, like soccer, are married, and live within 5 miles of this hotel. Before you spend a dime, Facebook will tell you how many people match the criteria and such. You can do a lot of things from there after that .

Thank you.

Agreed. Facebook has allowed me to really target the relevant demographic.
