Slap flyers on car windshields at large office complexes and stuff them into mailboxes 
Less spam issues and loosing his hosting.

And there books you can buy, ( not that cheap) with name, address, contact ( purchasing dept) number of Emp.'s all kind of good info in them.
After you get the books or books, your friend has 2 set down go thru. it page by page. Mark the companies or people he thinks would use his service.
Has 2 make up some post card type ad's ( you can do them with word landscape ). You make the master 4 to a page, then take' em some place like PIP and have' em printed.
He will need software 2 Mfg. his mailing list. I used Tele magic, not cheap.
once I got it set up I could do 4 or 5 hundred in an hour or 2.
If he not a fast typer, (I'm not) hire someone 2 enter the data. Once it's enter just a matter of, every time you do a mailing.
I did this for years and YOU will get business believe me.
I did it for scale rentals, bought 30 new counting scales, did mailing, didn't get shit. Told the girl working for me, start selling these scale.
Well before she could sell any of them, I had 2 buy more.
Any thing you do, be it flyers or direct mail you have 2 do it over and over and over. I got 2 stick with. And it cost money
Direct mail is the best but cost more than flyers. I had flyers printed up also but never used them.
