Is Offline Marketing Possible from a Remote Location?

by frank1475

I live in Spain but am a native English speaker. I was wondering if it is possible to build an offline marketing business in either the US or UK without physically being there, i.e. without being to offer the face to face component of the sales process.

If so, what types of marketing services and best suited to being remote from your customers?

Thanks,
Frank.

    Using tools like join.me you can do a complete presentation online so technically it's not a problem. The challenge, at least for the US will be the time difference of 6-9 hours.

    Perhaps the UK would work better for you.

    It's definitely possible, but make sure you can prove
    your credibility online. That means you should probably
    have a professional-looking website and testimonials
    (preferably video testimonials) from your past clients.

    Or, you could use an entry service (low-end, low risk)
    to draw clients in first. Once you prove you can be
    trusted, you can offer more standard higher-priced services.

    Offline marketing involves such marketing methods that don't even involve the internet.It includes direct mail, billboards, and print advertising.This way of marketing is very much popular from past many years. Its a kind of marketing where everything is done in order to make a business popular among its target audiences.It is useful for all the commercial and non-commercial businesses and products globally. It mainly helps in brand popularity, popularity, product sale, revenue generation, profit maximization ad covering the gap between providers and consumers.There are several techniques through which offline marketing can be done which includes physical networking events, word of mouth advertising and traditional advertising. The fusion of these offline marketing strategies can be very beneficial for the remote locations where marketing a business through a online is to some extent impossible.

    You'll be fine. I've only had one client here in my city... funny enough, she was the worst client I ever had. I'm all for a buffer zone. LOL

      I sell my services via outlets like Linkedin all the time
      so one does not need proximity to be successful.

      None of my clients live in my state. I advise people I
      create direct mail for to focus on local markets if there
      is a good market there.

    I was traveling for 6 months and this is one of the screenshots I found.

    I'm not trying to show off but wanted to visually show you what's possible.



    Just like KungFU said, I don't really have any clients in my city anyways. I barely ever see any of my clients.

      Does that mean that you have to be up at time zones irregular to your country's and work the graveyard shift if you happen to be in another continent?

        It's not always the graveyard shift, it can be, most people don't hire us to call for 9 hours a day, so even if we are working for AU - there are only a few hours a day it has to be done. We also partner with people in other countries to get things done.

        We also do things like consulting, so not all of our clients have calling campaigns.

    My closest client is about 2,000 miles away. It's way more than just possible. I've never met any of my clients.
