Most businesses found online are entirely ignoring the very affordable marketing methods at our disposal in the real offline world. That is a fact. It's now time for you to bring the offline people straight right to your Internet website. Advertising and marketing offline, utilizing the strategies below is an efficient method to deliver new customers to your Internet website. These time-tested methods have been used in the past to captivate the attention and bring your new customers over the Internet for the primary purpose of checking out your website.

1. Classified Ads
I bet you've forgotten these already. Somebody in the offline world needs your product. You need to inform them about your product. With the multitude of publications which have their own targeted set of audiences, this is no miracle that your product will surely find its way to the right customer. No matter what product you're promoting, there is a trade publication out there that will feature it. You create the classified that serenades their interest and invite them over through your website address or URL. Say goodbye to long postal addresses.

2. Press Releases
It is day one of your business website. It's also the first day of your online presence. Nobody wants their first launch to be silent one. The entire purpose of launching your business is to let the world know that you're here and serious about providing quality service or products. Let the online and offline realms feel this endeavor of yours. Use the local press to announce the launch of your Internet business website. There are free and paid ways to do this depending on your budget. You just need a noteworthy news angle. Contact your local press and see how you can accomplish this step by step.

3. Business Cards
Remember this, the most successful Internet business websites judiciously use a variety of both offline and online strategies to divert more targeted visitors to their site. Whenever you attend social events in your neighborhood, don't forget your business cards. Hand them out courteously to your friends, family members or the ones you met at the social event. There is nothing easier than this. You get the chance to get some suggestions and if they've seen your website already, some constructive criticisms. Just make sure you place the URL of your business on the business card OK? Also, you can place your business cards or flyers on the local community bulletin boards, grocery stores and other suitable locations.

4. Partnership with other offline businesses
I know competition can be tough. But I still believe that there are plenty of customers to go around to. Talk to other offline businesses that cater to similar audiences. In exchange, you can tell them that they can place an ad on your website.

5. Sticker Campaign
Involve the present members of your website. Hold a contest and whoever sells the most stickers with your URL shall win reward points or special discounts. Members who provide referrals should be given plus points too.

Remember that these offline methods have stood the test of time. They were here before the Internet came. They might have been neglected, but never forgotten. Use them to your advantage. Any Internet business website owner can increase targeted traffic that converts to any website using any one of these offline techniques.
