How to promote any business offline

Okay.. Offline business promotion. Here are few tips that you can start:

1. Flyers. Consider giving out flyers in the area your business is serving, You can also give out flyer with coupon that they can avail a certain discount if they show it on their 1st visit.

2. Join trade fair. Get a booth where you can sell your products. You can also display the brand name of your website via the banners of your booth.

3. Giveaways. Print you brands on tshirt, umbrella, mugs, fan, pen, etc. Let your previous customers carry your brand with them.

Hope this helps!

Why is this in the Off Topic rather than: Offline Marketing | Warrior Forum ?

Hi,
There are some really talented marketers here on this forum. But, to get the best results please tell us what you're marketing.

The reason why is, doughnuts are promoted differently than bridges.

What is your business?

What are you selling?

And what is your budget?

Those are the minimum to get back well thought out answers.

Your blog is your business. I think Press, TV and T-Shirt advertising is effective ways to promote business.

Apart from these techniques I think that a person should also use following methods to promote blog:

1) Use social media
2) Write for popluar blogs like Shoutmeloud
3) Submit the URL to social bookmark sites like Digg and Delicious

I also learned these methods by reading posts from Shoutmeloud.

Read Guerrilla Marketing by Jay Conrad Levinson

It is an old book but I'd recommend you start by reading it as unless you have some significant marketing budget you need low cost ideas to help you get your business off the ground.

You can probably look it up in your local library or buy a copy from Amazon.

Here is a link to a revised edition.

https://www.amazon.com/Guerilla-Mark.../dp/0618785914

Then look up some of Jay Abraham's old stuff.

I'm sure you can get some good material if you hunt around.

That would be my recommendation when starting out and money is tight and you need results.

There are many. One of the easiest is to find a non competing business, related to yours, and help them promote your business to all of their customers.

This may be as simple as putting an offer on a business card and passing it out to each of their customers. It can bring you almost immediate business and can be repeated with other businesses - as many times as you'd like.

Give it some thought.

Depends on your business. For some types of businesses, partnering with a no-for profit (say host some event for that non-for profit) can be a great way to go.

For others, sponsoring an event for the target audience (you're a marketer looking for dentists, you sponsor an event that caters to dentists) might be the way to go.

Sponsoring allows you to use the event organizer's credibility.

(The converse would be for you to run an event where you invite people with established credibility to participate.)

You need to tell us what type of business you're talking about.

Set up a site that is improved for web crawlers. List your offerings in all possible business directories.

When it comes to offline marketing, you have a lot of options. To make it efficient, think about your market. Where are your customers? Where do they usually go?

Once you know where they are, you'll know where to give out your flyers, posters, etc.

Free samples or Flyers will be the best way you can promote offline.

Give your product to prominent local, regional and national individuals for free. If they like it, they will use it, tell other people about it and maybe even endorse it formally.

Go to vendor trade shows even if you cannot afford a booth. Sometimes you can split a booth with another company that sells compatible products

billboards, flyers, radio ads

In order to help you better, we need to know what kind of business you are referring to. This is because not all businesses are the same, nor do prospects respond to the same promotional resources in the same way

For offline promotion, I use the help of different promotional gifts and some printed products. It is a very nice way to get new customers offline these days, I think. You should try it too

T-shirts
Gifts are people's favorites and giving them some free gifts like your blog's t-shirt is definitely going to rock their day up. T-Shirts featuring your blog address with a great design equals to free publicity.
Press: Newspapers, Magazine, and TV Channels
Business Cards

and......the OP is gone.

drop cards
flyers to your target market
cold calling(if you must!)
maybe a virtual office.
a website

I don't know what your selling but i am guessing you will need to have a website if your offering to market offline companies online sell websites etc I wouldn't take you seriously if you had no website.

There are so many people who focus on the offline business marketing instead of online marketing. You can promote your business by giving give aways, going to trade fares.

For offline promotion, I use the help of different promotional gifts like lapel pins and some printed products. It is a very nice way to get new customers offline these days, I think. You should try it too
