I have had big vynal, vynel, vinyl,..................plastic stickers put over most of our cars. They certainly get noticed. We did a job with another company a couple of weeks back and the owner said that his customers did not realy like the stickers on the car. Fair enough I said, how often are we going to be carrying that customer. The answer was now and again. I said for now and again, I will keep the stickers. The every day punters don't mind.

Pretty cheap I think mate, they do them in big bundles shrinked wrapped in plastic, all you do is go into the pub and give them a bundle. Try these http://www.beermatcompany.co.uk/sample-mats/

Just out of interest. How many pubs have you ever been in and seen a taxi company advertised on a beermat? Most breweries provide pubs with beermats advertising their beers etc. How are they going to react to the landlord allowing another business to advertise in the pub? Maybe ok in a free house. In most pubs the beer mats are thrown away at the end of the night so how many would you have to give to the pub to ensure a decent coverage?

The local companies up here insist on carding being the way forward , and by that I mean they drop a dozen business cards through my letter box every month

Find something novel and unique that will be a talking point

One company up here has the local ice cream van wrapped in their logo and phone number imagine its successful in targeting a specific area (ie the vans route that it covers 5 times a day)

Really depends on what your hoping to achieve and how much you want to spend

Beer mats work, fact! we had 25000 done, cost was just under £700 99% of pubs will snap your hand off for them, as breweries dont supply them for free and landlords have to pay for them. Get the design right, make it eye catching and proof read it. We got the idea off Bill from DataMaster and it's a winner.

4 mats on a table X 20 tables 80 beer mats or give them a bundle. Another good way is Ciggerette bins outside your local pubs.
