My impression was that every business owner I know (myself included) is talking about his/her business just because we do business for the reason that it's something we like doing. Also - it spreads the word. “I think it’s human nature not to brag about yourself and your business” – actually, it’s quite opposite.

However, I don't seem to have enough time to market my business. One thing that I've been doing is inviting clients for phone conferences and web conferences - this has worked out quite well. I even found a site that offers innovative phone conference call services, if you own a business; you should really check it out at: http://www.24conference.com. This will save you both time and money. I try to toot my own horn, so-to-speak, when promoting my business. However, I don’t seem to have enough time to market my business.

Just your basic USP. If they want more info, they will ask for it - if not, you didn't annoy them too much.
