Have any of you ever seen a car that is completely covered in a design for an online company? Have you ever seen a car with a web URL or a logo on it? If you have, you have seen examples of offline advertising. Here is a list I made with 5 different ways to advertise your website, or online business offline.
1.Promotional items. Purchase your own T-shirts,pencils,stress balls,mouse pads, etc. Have all of the items made with your website URL on it. Then post on your website you are selling them for the same price you bought them for, or even less if you can afford to do that. Also give them out to family,friends,and your website visitors.
2.Car decal/sticker. Slap on a sticker on the rear, or side of you car, or your parents car to get free advertising at stoplights, and in traffic. These can be especially useful when you are on a traffic packed highway.
3.Answering machine. If you have an answering machine at home you know that you have a message before someone can leave their message. so why not throw in your website address, and tell them to visit it.
4.Flyer’s. Make a sample flyer at home and go get it copied 100 times. Go all around town and post your flyer’s. Even go into food stores that have a community board, and post one there. Also at high schools. There are an unlimited amount of places to put your flyer on.
5.Shout out on the radio. Nearly every radio station in the world holds a contest. Whether it be for movie tickets or a sold out concert it doesn’t matter. But what if you get on the air and you make a shout out to your site. That means lots of direst traffic.
I really hope you guys go out and try some of these methods. Tomorrow we will continue the Where is your traffic series, when I write a post about gaining traffic with different online methods.

I see you are learning Zach.
1) waiting on buying the logo before opening store.
2) Doing this on 2 cars.
3) Can not do this, already for my other business.
4) I was thinking more like 10,000 copies.
5) Working on getting one of my family members to do so. Since all 4 of the radio stations we listen to know her by her first name from winning so much stuff from them.
Keep up the good work my friend.
Good tips, my dad runs a door to door advertising company. I plan on making fliers and adding them to out deliveries… We’ve already delivered over 5,000 bags this month… just think if at least half of them took the time out to type in my url!!!
Wow, that is a great situation you are in! Good luck with that. Thanks for visiting the site, and commenting. Zach
Tuesday I was searching for sites related to Marketing and specifically promotional logo items and I found your site.
Wow, Jim, that is great to hear. Thanks for visiting, and commenting.
