When you say 'speaking to as many small businesses as possible' what is it you want from them? Free publicity is great, but I suspect the majority of small business owners will not fully appreciate any benefit of being mentioned in a blog.

The small businesses will be *very* small businesses. More specifically - crafters, artists and makers. People who probably don't even have a Web site and would genuinely appreciate free publicity.
We aim to see as many as possible, go round there, take a photo, describe what they do in a blog post and move on to the next one!
We would like to get some sort of notice to the local press, whether its 8 weeks or two weeks we don't know whats best?
