How to Promote Your Web Biz Offline

A lot of Internet entrepreneurs focus only on marketing their home based businesses online. Why not expand your potential prospect base to your local market? Here's a few ideas on how to promote your web biz offline.

There's nothing new about these ideas, but as simple and basic as they are, it's surprising that more home based Internet business marketers don't take advantage of them.

Consider these ways to promote your web biz while doing non-business tasks offline:

1. T-shirts: It doesn't cost a lot to get small batches of t-shirts imprinted these days. Have some t-shirts printed up with your website and other business information. Give the shirts out to family, friends and others in your community.

2. Ball Caps: Same thing goes for ball caps. Get a bunch made up with your web address and other info and hand them out. People will be happy to wear the caps because they are both fun and functional.

3. Jackets: Since we're talking about apparel, why not get some jackets printed for family members and close friends? When it gets too cold for t-shirts, you can wear jackets!

4. Magnetic Signs: How about magnetic signs with your website and business info? Place them on your vehicle door or roof when travelling. The added bonus is their portability; easily switch to whatever vehicle you happen to be using ... even a relative's!

5. Bumper Stickers: Bumper stickers are still popular and they do get noticed. Print some with your website and other business information and away you go.

There you are. If you have ever wondered how to promote your web biz offline, now you've got some great ideas to get you started!

Ahh yes GT, offline promoting I think can be very helpful. I get questions all the time when I wear my Eye Earner t-shirt or someone sees the banner on my car.

I have posted Eye Earner cards on many bulletin boards.

Before Merchant Services was eliminated by SFI, I had material all over town.

Thanks for your post

Hi GT,

Like Leon I promote EyeEarn with the banner on my auto, wearing the T-Shirt and distributing cards.

All the ways you suggest are good. Advertising in newsprint and circulating flyers can also be helpful.

Hi GT
I think that many of us get so focused on the Internet that we forget the old tried and true methods of promoting.
I also have good results wearing my EyeEarn T-Shirt and have used several of the methods you mentioned.
