    Would you say competitions are a good idea, e.g to get facebook/twitter followers?

    You can use both social media and social book marketing. If you want to see short result, you use paid traffic.

    Offline marketing is a bit different from online in terms of its scope and its natural limitation. Especially for small businesses, offline marketing cannot reach very far regions.

    Offline marketing is then best for the local market. The best offline marketing method you can do is making use of printed materials like brochures, flyers and other printed materials. Here's a video about a former marketing strategist who currently owns a business, IndieGenius, who chose to go with printed marketing materials for her offline marketing campaign: Targeting the Local Market with Print Media

    i think you need to do some good seo and keyword research, get someone who knows on board, even if you have to folk out a few quid now, it will be worth it in the long run best of luck

    Flyers...... take a look on fiverr, some good gigs there for designing and distributing flyers and brochures without having to spend hundreds on it.

    I would say any mean of physical media,(flyers, newspapers, ads, banners, etc.) would help you to market your offline business.

    Post flyers on bulletin boards in high traffic areas. Also create postcards and business cards and "Forget" them anywhere you go (Restaurants, bus seats, stores). I hear car decals work good too. Good luck :)

    They have these business cards called drop cards the most effective ones are in the form of a money. It's simply a peace of paper that looks exactly like money with a spot to write your message on the inside. You fold it in half, of course with your message on the inside, drop it someone and when someone walks they'll see it there thinking it's money and when they unfold they'll see your message. Hope this helps.

    Peace & Love

    Haha some of the posts above were creative. Yea, use social media... create fliers, banners, and stickers to give to people or post on cars, doors, etc sign posts, bulletin boards, etc. If your business is good, people will come to you.

    In my country, some companies use advertising via Television, and finally the famous. I think this requires more expensive for me.
