What method is most cost efficient in advertising for a small business? What gets the best dollar spent to customer in store ratio? I've thought of several avenues including newspaper(print and online editions), direct mail, other local internet site advertisements, and local TV ads. If there is another route I have not mentioned, please include.

Absolutely, dollar for dollar it is Search Engine Marketing. I've been doing SEM for about 3 years now and there is no comparison. If you have any reason to believe that your customers are online searching for answers related to what you sell, this is definitely the place to start.
