Does your village, or a neighbouring village, have a village magazine?
Tradesmen advertise in those. Do those villages have pubs? Possibly ask the
publican. Village shop? Parish Council meetings? Could button hole folks at
those places.

Where did I mention village?

Magazine for the suburbian area is where I got No 1 from.

You have to be careful with those, because there are magazines and
magazines. The parish magazine produced on the village hall photocopier is
probably fine because everyone knows everyone, but there are glossy
'advertorial' magazines that claim to be local but are stuffed full of paid
ads padded out with 'articles' that are just puff pieces for the business
advertised nearby ('have you thought about XYZ?'). That's just the Yellow
Pages with better printing.

Things like:

and I'm sure there are many others.
