Offline marketing is a simple yet critical part of Internet
success. Offline marketing is simply putting your web address
in all of your traditional advertising and print media. This
is going to leverage your advertising by bringing qualified
customers to your website. Your website should be the focal
point of all of your advertising and marketing.
Put
your web address anywhere you have your name or phone number,
as it is just another medium in which people can contact you
and learn about your business. Just like your phone number,
people need easy access to your web address. Your web address
should be anywhere that your contact information is. This
will leverage your existing marketing and make your advertising
dollars more effective by reaching a larger audience. Make
sure that your web address is on:
- Your
business cards and letterhead
-
All paperwork, documents, invoices, etc.
-
All print or display advertising (newspaper, yellow pages)
-
Direct mail, postcards, flyers, newsletters, etc.
- Promotional
items, shirts, hats, calendars, notepads, magnets, pens,
etc.
- Your
truck
Talk
it up
Let everyone you do business with know that you have a website.
Send clients to your website for a specific reason. Your clients
will remember your web address long before they'll remember
a 10-digit phone number. Make it a resource - give them reasons
to go there and return. Also - leave your web address on your
voice mail, or after hours message.
Make
your domain readable The next step is making your web address
more noticeable. Capitalize the first letter of key words.
Your web address is not case sensitive and doing this makes
your web address more readable and memorable. Examine the
difference -

Search
engines are ever-changing. They all work differently and for
most of our clients, we consider it the second or third step
in website marketing efforts. However, search engines can
bring good short-term success depending on your business.
Costs
for search engine registration varies by site - some are free
and some have fees. The best success and most stability are
often found in the top few pay-for-inclusion services. We
offer advanced packages and continue to provide information
and submission technique advice.
