Word of mouth. Having demo parties if it is a bus like pampered chef. Donating products to local schools and churches with your bus card attached.

I agree with donating to school craft fairs. I know people that have advertised on diner m,enus, left a catalog at the nail salon.

I say definitely facebook. Twitter is good too, but facebook should be your hub probably.

Yep. Done all of this. Put business cards at local delis, grocery stores and reached out through facebook.

I sold candles for years (helped me pay for my wedding and buy my house). WHat I did was brought catalogues and samples with me EVERYWHERE. I never went anywhere without my tealights. The grocery store, the bank, I would send them into friends offices, my mom's offices. I would also offer free shipping and products for referrals. That really worked.
Do craft fairs, put a basket together and enter church/town/school raffles. I would. Ask your local schools (preschools and baby classes count too!) if they want to do a fundraiser.
I would have an open house. I would invite prior customers, neighbors, family, friends, etc over for a cash and carry (selling old product that I would use for demos at a discounted price) and a demo, offering chances in raffle (for product) for those that booked a party that day.
You need to be just on the nice side of assertive in making calls of all your customers and contacts.
I've been out of it for a while so this was just off the top of my head. Good luck! I hope this helps.
