Offline and Increase Your Traffic
Go Offline and Increase Your Traffic
by Terri Seymour
Having
an online business entails neverending online promotion, but do
not forget to promote offline as well. There are many ways to
spread the word offline about your business. Try a few of these
affordable and easy ideas. These ideas are simple, yet can bring
your site many visitors.
Flyers
- Design and print flyers right from your computer. Post them
on bulletin boards at grocery stores, churches, malls, post offices,
banks, etc. Use brightly colored paper to get people's attention.
Make the message interesting enough so they want to visit your
site.
WebDecals
- Purchase a WebDecal for your car. Promote while running errands,
shopping or wherever you have to go. They are easy to use and
inexpensive.
Local
Papers - Run your ads in local newspapers. You can usually
get these at very reasonable rates. Ask your local paper if they
would consider doing a story about your business. Local papers
frequently do a write up for local business owners.
Business
Cards - Always have business cards on hand. Stick one in your
monthly bills when you mail them out, leave one on the table with
the tip when you leave the restaurant, stick them on bulletin
boards, leave one whenever the opportunity arises.
Letterheads
- You should have your url and logo on all printed materials
that leave your home/office. Have your url stamped on all envelopes
and letters and anything else you mail out.
Coupons
- Print out coupons that offer discounts or freebies for anyone
who visits your site from that coupon. Post these on bulletin
boards, put them in all your outgoing mail, etc.
Freebies
- Offer freebies from your site that have your url printed on
them, such as ink pens, coffee mugs, matchbooks, calendars, etc.
Lots of these items get seen by many people.
