OFFLINE Marketing Anyone?

I did a cpa a while back where i was handing out credit card sign ups at the uni made some good cash. I just made a biz card with the cpa site and got the sign ups.

 

I agree with pinpointcomm its fine, but first of all u should creat an idea that what stretergies involve in offline marketing, and done it properly, don't missguide peoples through offline marketing. by the use of "flyers" u can get more result from offline marketing. Just print and distribution to the different peoples and place. It is the easiest way to promot ur messege and get a lot of treffic.

 

I'm currently designing flyers to distribute locally in my area (hand-delivered in mailboxes). It's sort of a trial thing, to see if I get any sales from it, but I don't think you can ever have too many advertisement streams.

 

But just make sure that you dont wind up spamming someone That could get you in ALOT of trouble

 

In this scenario i wish you good luck, local offline distribution is one of the best ways to develop any advertising campaign Though like PPA say's don't wind up incurring physical spam, that could actually wind up having a negative effect on your products promotion

 

I've tried some banners in on my office building.

It worked for hosting because I work in a great business ridden area.

 

Well i guess it varies from populace to populace But personally Off-line marketing is just alright not the best when it comes to web based products

 

i disagree Pinpointcomm :/ local marketing can do wonders for any web based product

 

flyers are good method i think so

 

Flyers, Viral Marketing, just make sure that before you wind up spending your hard earned money over something, you should be well versed in the basics of it so you don't face any difficulties when you implement something like say distribution of flyers or for that matter a viral marketing campaign

 

Hey man, it is really great, Let me bookmark this page.
However, I used to follow only Local newspaper advertising as well as advertising on local tv/radio channels..... getting some more. Whatever it is, all these things cannot beat my business via internet

 

Guess i'll throw in my two cents for a local advertising program just to see what kinda results i can get

 

Great post - Thank you for all of the ideas shared

 

I did this when I first got started when I had no idea about promoting or anything. What I did made printed copies of the site hung them in supermarkets and laundry marts I got quite a few visitors. I still have some of them keep coming back and on my contact list and from them also was word of mouth, and that site I do not do any promoting for it since then.

 

There are some great ideas in here that I will definitely use. You can also try reading the book Guerrilla Marketing. It has some great ideas as well.

Ya, We just printed some flyers for our new clothing line.

 

Good deal, I suggest targeted placement of the flyers. Id be careful with the mail boxes. I believe its against federal law to place materials in mailboxes that have not been mailed. (maybe tape it to the box instead?)

good luck, let me know how it works out.

 

Not in Australia, at least

 

Cool Cool, I just assumed you were from the Broken States of America (i mean USA) for some reason.

 

The sticker idea is awesome! Might use it in some of my own projects. Give a pile of stickers to some kids for free and they will put them everywhere.
