A New Offline Concept in Advertising

May 5, 2005 -- Advertising offline is just as important as advertising online. As many businesses have found out when getting their business online. Getting in google with your keywords can take months. If you have a brand new domain you can get stuck in the “google sand box” for anything between 1-8 months and in some cases even longer. Patience is the key but when you want to start getting customers to your business and you cannot get the traffic your patience becomes very thin.

Well with that all said and done there is still many places you can advertise offline to encourage customers to use your service or buy your product. Local advertising in your local paper can be very affective and is cost effective.

Also offering incentives to your customers such as special offers or free gifts can be affective. Ensure your free gifts have your contact details on.

A good idea is to build a potential customer database and send out information packs with a well written letter. Always follow up with a phone call within 3-4 days. This is a good way of promoting your self to local businesses in your area.

Remember every time you get a no you are getting closer to a yes!

A new concept but very effective and professional
