Tips on Marketing Your Own Site

Off-line Marketing Complements Online Marketing

Many online business people have become savvy in the use of online marketing tools like search engine placement, affiliate programs, E-zine advertising, opt-in e-mail programs, and the like.

However, in addition to all these important online marketing tools, they should also make use of off-line avenues as tools to strengthen online sales. The following are examples of possible off-line efforts to be used in conjunction with online marketing moves to reinforce your online businesses:

• Consider placing ads on print publications that correspond with your type of business.

• Consider placing ads on other traditional media fora like radio and TV. Using radio and TV increases the number of portals by which customers could potentially be drawn to your website.

• Publish professionally-made brochures and literature and utilize reputable direct marketing firms to distribute these materials as they have access to targeted mailing lists that assure you of well-spent marketing money.

• Remember to always include your website's URL on your brochures, literature, business cards and any piece of business correspondence, including checks.

Remember that optimum results can be realized if these off-line marketing methods are combined with online marketing efforts.
