What's your uncommon way to promote your website?

    I remembered I used to print those little wallet calendars with my website on the back and slip in mail boxes around my area.

    Haha, not very effective but that's what I did.

    Care to share yours?

    Calendars seem common. The only way to be uncommon is to do it before others.

    One thing I like to do is put stickers in odd places so they're hard to remove or reach to be removed.

    Porn is virtually impossible to cross promote mainstream websites. Don't bother.

    Hmmm, if its uncommon and it works, I doubt anyone is going to share and make it common. LOL

    Offline marketing for online local businesses is quite uncommon and, still, effective. Most of the internet marketers out there forget the basic fact that online businesses is for offline benefits.

    I know but I think your action might bother customer when they don't want to see those stickers and can not remove them. I like the option calendars. May be it is old but seem to make many people interested

    Never? I might if I could make money with sharing it or if it didn't hurt me. But this one, would hurt me.

    The most effective way of promotion of my website is "mouse to mouse" marketing - I tell about my website all my friends, relatives and also new people with whom I get acquainted. This method seems to be rather common, but it works:)))

    I use mouth of people. Tell friends, friends of friends, Relatives and neighbors. But for most effective and fast spreading, I use girl friends, girl friends of girl friends, girl Relatives and girl neighbors.

    My friend is in real-estate and he needed to get the word out about his business. He started going to sporting events like local baseball, football and soccer games. He would honestly print off about 10,000 business cards and just walk around the sports stadium leaving his cards everywhere. He wouldn't watch the game, he would spend the whole time evenly distributing his business cards around the stadium- leaving them in the bathrooms, by water fountains, vending machines..anywhere!.

    A bumper sticker could be useful but you'd want a domain name that is extremely easy to remember or it wouldn't transfer from bumper to actually being visited :)

    We were suggested to get t-shirts printed and wear them around our local area to promote our local business. Never got around to it though.

    Promotional materials like stubby holders, pens, caps, balloons etc are all good for promotion too if you're looking to get local traffic to your site.

    Really, this is all standard offline marketing stuff.
