How to Market Your Business Offline

Many small business owners don’t take advantage of marketing their businesses offline in addition to online. Check out these effective ways to market your business offline:

Try unconventional marketing techniques – There are many unconventional ways you can get attention for your business, from sidewalk chalk to sticky notes left in random places to donating merchandise with your name on it. All of these ways can help get the name of your business noticed.

Remember the business card – Many people forget about business cards today, but they still are important because they offer you an easy way to give your information to anyone you meet. At the grocery, the doctor’s office, or an event, you could meet someone who wants to know more about your business. The business card is the perfect non-intrusive way to do that.

Take pictures and videos – This method crosses from offline to online, but it’s something that you definitely should consider. Take pictures at events, pictures of random moments in your workday and more. Then share them on your social media networks. You can even use these images in your brochures, on your company website, and in other marketing materials.

Donate prizes for contests – Several charity organizations host events that require prizes for contests and giveaways. Research when these events take place in your community and make your company a go-to business for these types of events.

Speak at local events – A great way to get the word out about your business offline is to get on some speakers’ lists. Find a way to speak about something motivational and then relate it back to your business in some way.

Use direct mail – After you establish a customer list, send marketing information to your customers through direct mail. Consider creating an oversized postcard to help your message stand out in your customers’ mailboxes.

Make cold calls – Cold calling may work for your type of business. After purchasing a list of potential leads, simply get on the phone and start calling them. Or scope out other companies in your area that might benefit from your products or services. Cold calling requires a lot of patience and time so you can contact as many people as possible.

Volunteer – The more you can volunteer in your local area, the more people will get to know you as someone they can count on. If you sell something that people need, whether a service or a product, those who get to know your name will seek you out based on your volunteering activities.

These are effective ways to market your business offline. They can help take your business to the next level. Offline marketing can help you create a name for yourself – no matter what type of business you have.
