I am wondering what the aggregate amount of money small businesses spend on advertising in America is. Does anybody know the answer, where I could find that information, or where I could find people who would know. Thanks in advance.
If you're a college student, a great resource is are the librarians at your libraries. Their job includes having a grasp on where to find this kind of information.<p>For one off questions of this type, I find yahoo answers and ask metafilter to be great. I personally don't know where you would start, but someone on those sites probably does.
