Think outside the box when using direct mail. You may have great affordable results with traditional direct mail like letters and postcards, but what about coupon mailers, local targeted magazines or newspaper stuffers? Those are often very affordable and for some people or products create excellent awareness.

Make it fun. Your prospective customers are more likely to become aware of what you are marketing if it is fun. Think about fun T-shirts or toy give-a-ways. People love free things and they help create excellent market awareness. If the item is unique, the recipient is likely to share it with others thus extending the life of your promotion.

Create consistency across several media forms. Great market awareness is not simply an e-mail, newspaper ad, letter or other mass media format. Market awareness includes several types of media executed repeatedly. Think about what makes sense for your market and your budget. To get noticed you need to work to create awareness about what you are marketing in more than one medium so people can more easily recall and remember you or your product.

Remember to be consistent and fun.
Don't give up after one attempt. It often takes people 6 to 8 times to see a product or service before they will act on it. Keep this in mind during your planning phases.
