The Most Badass Marketing Just Went Offline

For many years before the internet was even a thing, business owners were able to market and promote their business effectively, and with great results - however nowadays we seem so stuck in our online bubbles, thinking success is all about awesome web design, often forget there's a whole world outside just waiting, full of opportunities for us.

Yet we tend to overlook them because we're so focused on the online marketing strategies that we think that we have to be using. Whilst there are certainly no reasons why we shouldn't be using online marketing, learning to use offline strategies could also have a great impact on your business if you choose to actually take advantage of them.

So in this post we're going to share with you some of the effective offline marketing strategies that you could use for your business.

Live events:

Live events, such as speaking or conferences are a great way to get in front of a new audience or even market to an existing audience who know who you are but just haven't bought from you yet and to get them to know more about your product.

You can hold these events on your own to small or large groups, or you can attend other people's events as a keynote speaker and get in front of a whole new audience without having to do all the promotion for the event. You can then sell your products and services or simply invite the people in the audience to come and find out more about what you do.

Exhibitions:

Exhibitions at places such as trade shows are still an effective way to market your business today, and these are especially effective if you sell physical products or even online products such as software or apps that you can demonstrate to people who have maybe never heard of you before.

You can look for upcoming events where you could display your products and services, and nowadays it's pretty easy to attend an exhibition and get yourself known by finding exhibition stands for hire from CMEX so that you don't have to always bring your own with you every time - you can simply hire them for the day and then give them back when you're done.

In-person workshops:

In-person workshops are just like online workshop, except they're going to probably be to a much smaller group, but the good thing about these is you can either offer them for free or paid and when you offer them for a fee, you can usually charge a higher amount because there are less people there, and they will have a more tailored and personalised experience. You can then market your other products and services to the people who attend the workshop.

We hope you found this post useful in helping you identify some of the ways that you can market your business offline instead of only focusing on online marketing strategies all the time.

It's a good idea to always have a mix of both online and offline marketing within your business, because there's a big world out there and you could be missing potential opportunities by limiting yourself to online only.
