Of course market it online. It is the best way nowadays that in marketing your company, you need to work it online in order to get the wide array of market locations.
Though it looks quite simple question but the most challenging questions are most difficult questions to answer. Nevertheless, I must say that get yourself present where ever your target customers are. First of all customers do product research on search engines, so get your website ranked as higher as possible. 2ndly, try to launch quality inbound marketing strategy as it's 60% cost effective than traditional outbound marketing tactics such as cold internet calling, interruption advertisings and irritating emails. Create quality social presence and write your industry oriented blogs. This way you can generate quality leads and ultimately convert them into sales.

Hello Here you can find the list of sites to market your business. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2505490#post17793783
Let me introduce one of the best site where you can market your business: Zubera Classifieds www (dot) zubera (dot) co (dot) in
The best marketing is TV adverts, but obviously not many businesses can afford it, if you're a local business, you're best off signing up for google places and maybe using adwords.
Blog for your business. A good combination of technical articles about computers and computer repairs plus articles about your community - the combo pulls in local eyeballs and gets you found / known. Google Places, local directories, Angies List (get happy customers to write reviews for you) - in fact, I always go to Angies List for computer repairs come to think of it.
Look for methods that allow you to advertise locally, since you are a local business right? Have you looked at Craig's List? Create a Facebook page, add people from the local area and try to build up a strong community following.
Press release and local advertising since a computer repair business usually functions locally only, unless you want to repairs PC as far as from India...but it helps to have an online presence.
Facebook is a great way to market your company, you can send multiple users private messages, and link them to your website and/or fan page.
Put your company profile to most big local directory such as Google Place, Yelp, Yahoo Local, Hotfrog, Maquest, WhitePages. Locally can help your business.
SEO for new business usually slow to grow a new service company . The best for me is buy ads and media that help to place banner ads on other top site and help you to analyst those site. Other option might be try out Google and Yahoo PPC. It will be great to try use social media to do contest and generate fans , traffic, client .
Needless to say, your budget will play a role in your marketing plans. Whether you plan to market online or offline, you will still need to know how much you are willing to spend in terms of money and time.
Best way I'd do it is to start climbing Google in your local niche. Pick local keywords related to your business, and optimize your site for them, then make google and yahoo place pages, etc. You may want to consider hiring an SEO guy to do this.
Since your site is for your local business, your results will come much faster than if you were going after an extremely competitive niche. So, just remember that.
