Key Off-line Internet Marketing Strategies
These days an Internet Marketing strategy plays a vital part of Small Business marketing strategies (or any size business marketing strategies for that matter). Website marketing is an important part of just about any business, small or large.
You can’t put up a beautiful (or any) website and hope that people will just arrive. You have to let them know, for more detail go to: www.internet-marketing-word.com.IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY, which your website is there. This HAS to be part of any Internet Marketing Strategy you develop. This is actually a basic marketing principle. Customers are not going to look for you, you have to look for them.
Promotion your website on-line and building traffic is the subject of thousands of websites, e-zines, books, courses and seminars. Using the web to promote your site, however, assumes that your customers are surfers. But there is a large percentage of our population that is not as savvy with the internet as we would like them to be.
So, what about the large percentages of the population who are not? They will only find out about you through traditional marketing and public relations media. This is particularly true if you serve a fairly local market. Fortunately these are the easiest and cheapest prospects for you to reach off-line.
Key Off-Line Internet Marketing Strategies
Here are some of the ways to make your website known (this list was taken directly from the Traffic Building Volume of Ken Evoy’s brilliant book, Make Your Site Sell! 2002:
Unless you have a high budget, the TV, radio, classified ad route is not recommended but if you do run ads, for more detail go to: www.free-ad-system.com.be sure to mention your website everywhere. Make it part of your Internet Marketing Strategy.
Another guiding principle is that your off-line internet marketing activities should make it easy for your prospect to go straight to your website. One of the best ways to market your website off-line is direct mail postcards.
If your prospect sees your website on a billboard as she’s driving home, she probably won’t look you up when she gets to the office the next day.
This is not the only medium that has problems like this. Newspapers are bulky, radio has to spell it out and like before most people are driving at the time. On the other hand, if your prospect is sitting at her computer and a postcard comes in the mail announcing your website, she can just turn around and type in your URL and she’s at your website.
Now if someone is in the office reading a trade journal and comes across an article about you in the magazine, it’s not difficult for him to copy your URL into his browser and pay your site a visit.
I don’t mean to say that those other avenues won’t drive traffic to your site, but it will take numerous impressions and repetition to get them to remember your address.
On the other hand, direct mail postcards are generally received at the home or office where a computer is present, and if received somewhere else they are small enough to keep with you until you can get to a computer. This way, your prospective customer will be able to take the postcard right over to their desktop computer, type in your address and go right to your site. Brilliant.
I have seen the greatest success in off-line website promotion with direct mail, and specifically direct mail postcards.

A Master Class in Brand Planning: The Timeless Works of Stephen King $60 ‘What is a Brand?’ by Stephen King was one of the most influential pieces of work ever and has had a lasting influence on the way in which I think about brands. A few years ago I had the extraordinary experience of re-visiting the video of it made by Stephen and Jeremy Bullmore and the stunning thing was how prescient they had been some thirty years previously. Indeed, the only thing they had not foreseen was the internet – everything else they got right. —Hamish Pringle, Director General, IPA Martin Mayer, the well-known investigative journalist, has described the present-day American advertising business more accurately than any other writer. He did this in his book Whatever Happened to Madison Avenue? Advertising in the ‘90s. I quote from page 191: “Thompson in London had become what Ogilvy was the first to call ‘a teaching hospital,’ where the researcher Stephen King developed philosophies of branding that were carried to America by John Philip Jones and Timothy Joyce.” There is very little doubt today that branding is at the top of most marketing professionals’ minds in the United States. But “top of mind” is not quite the same as “in the bloodstream.” Packaged goods advertisers in the United States are currently forced to spend three timesas much money below the line on price cutting, as above the line on brand-building media advertising. It is to be hoped that the book of Stephen’s papers will inject a powerful serum into the bloodstream of American marketers, to help them develop a strategic response to the power of the retail trade which is at the moment debilitating and even emasculating many American brands. —John Philip Jones, Professor, S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Syracuse University, New York, USA King’s relentless thirst to understand, rigour of questioning and breadth of learning remain an inspiration. A |
