When it comes to marketing your blog, things like social media, comment marketing or article marketing naturally come to mind. While these are tried and true ways to promote an online business, you may not have considered the fact that traditional marketing can often be as effective, if not more effective, than online marketing.
Why traditional marketing is important ? And Why Do We Use it To Promote AllXClub MLM?
Why is that? Why does traditional marketing often have a bigger impact on your online company? There are several reasons:
Alternative marketing is portable. If you run a small ad in a weekly magazine, a reader can rip the ad out and take it with her. A banner ad on a website is there only while the reader is on the site the ad is located.
Alternative marketing is personal. Personal marketing techniques – from passing out business cards, to putting up a flyer at the community board – tend to connect with people on a different level than online marketing techniques. In the traditional world, people know there’s a real individual behind that business card. Online, there’s just a computer.
Alternative marketing is proven. We’re just beginning to scratch the surface of the marketing potential on the Internet. In the long term, it’s likely that most marketing efforts will include, if not exclusively, Online efforts. Still, traditional techniques have been studied, in some cases, for decades. We know what works offline, and we know what doesn’t.
So Where Can You Get Started?
There are colleges and business schools that offer 4 year degrees in marketing. I can’t give you all of the advice those programs could offer here on my little blog. I can, however, suggest some tested ways you can get started in your traditional marketing efforts:
Business cards: This is the easiest way to recruit visitors to your company offline. Hand out business cards everywhere – on the bus, at the diner, even in your kids’ school on parents’ night.
Community news: Most newspapers and public television stations offer free “community news” announcements. Create a special sale or even host an event to tell people about your products.
Networking: I’m not talking Facebook or Tagged here, I’m talking about old-school networking. Connect with your friends, co-workers and former employers. Give them the info on what you’re up to with your company, and recruit them as referral based marketers.
No, you won’t get as much traffic from traditional marketing, but the traffic you do get is more likely to be ready to convert, and has been converting for our team of AllXClub Affiliates!
