    Social network profiles/fan pages.
    Video profile on YouTube and sites like that including video production.
    Press Releases
    Directory profiles like in Kudzu etc.
    Google Maps/Places
    PPC management
    Content Management
    Local forum niche related forum posting.
    Competition analysis, then a plan to out market them.
    Lead generation
    List building and follow up email series.

    The list goes on!

    What you need to make a decision about is how involved to you want to get with a client. The more involved the more money you can charge but also you increase the time spent on that client as well.

    Try starting out with simple services and build from there additional services.

      Sell services that will generate the biggest ROI for your client
      in the shortest period of time. As your making a list with your
      client by evaluating their business, you will come up with a
      huge list. Prioritize the TOP 5 on that list that give the biggest
      ROI and Results. Start there, and go kick some butt. Do this,
      and the client will do whatever you reccomend within reason based
      on results.

      Remember, You are In the Result's Business for Business's not
      the IM Business or consultant business. Get some results get more
      business.

      To your continued success,
      Robert

    Also, find your 'in.' If you go in offering them all of the above stated services, their heads will explode! Seriously!

    Pick one or two, or one or two that you think fit their model and pitch those. After you hook them, you can sell them whatever else you want.

    Stay focused in your presentation unless they start asking specifically about something else, like Facebook marketing or mobile.

    Hi, I'm just starting in offline marketing and have signed up an Engineer in a small town. I need help with what services I could offer him to begin with (he doesn't have a website0 that would not be too complicated for me but give him a good ROI. I don't think Mobile stuff would work. I would be grateful for all and any suggestions. Thanks

    You also want to make sure that it is a service that you can deliver on.

    Rus gave you a good starting list, but I know that there are some things that are profitable, but am either not comfortable, or knowledgeable to do for a client. I may learn to do some more things down the road, but I will want to make sure that I can do it well first. You do not want your client to be a guinea pig or your business could get in trouble fast.

    Think about what you can do well, then offer those services first. Do well and you will have a long term client who will go to you on marketing advice.

    Hope this helps.

    Dave

    Has anyone tried offering ads for mobile devices to clients? I'm thinking a text ad for a towing service would be great for a towing company.

    Press Releases will be the best.

    the best way to go about it is to offer a website re-design that includes SEO - switch their existing site to a wordpress site and set up an articles section that acts as the "blog" part of the site, and of course, include 20 SEO articles in the package. This service will lead to more SEO work and perhaps bring in new business through being referred by your original client - HTH
