Need help for ideas to market my biz offline!

4 replies
Hey Warriors,

I recently started a business in the Network Marketing niche and I am looking to do some marketing offline. I have a toll free number that I bought and I have a pretty good effective sizzle call I have created.

I am just looking for ideas for effective ways to market my business offline both free and paid.

Maybe some ideas of whats worked for you and what hasn't.( posters, flyers, newspaper ads...ext)

Let me know your thoughts and thanks in advance,

Preston

    By 'network marketing' do you mean like an MLM business?

    That is going to be quite a road with all of the competitors, but I wish you the best of luck.

    I'm not really sure 'Offline' is the best way to market an MLM business. Remember what allowed MLM to REALLY take off was the advent of the internet.

    Anyway...

    Come up with a unique angle to differentiate yourself from everyone else before you just blindly start throwing out advertising.

    Getting a USP will be the most important thing you can do, esp with something like MLM.

    If you already have a USP, great! How are people getting in touch with you and finding out more information?

    You mentioned something about an 800 number with a 'sizzle' call. I have no idea what that is... is that some kind of a pre-recorded message?

    If so, well worded and attention grabbing classified ads can work very well with pre-recorded messages. Classified ads are also very successful with the 'make money' niche, so I imagine that might be a great place to start once you are ready to start advertising!

    With offline, I'd focus on events and direct mail. Personally found these to be the most effective.

    Hi there,

    Direct mail allows you to test and refine, but as AlexCN pointed out, it's a very competitive market.

    All the best,

    Sasha.

    Flyers, Business Cards, Posters, and other stationary items with your company website. My friend always tells me drop cards are good. I believe it looks like money but it will have your info on it. A billboard would be nice but I hear those are pretty expensive. You should also try to find business events to attend so you can network with others like yourself.
