All the talk these days seems to focus around ways to promote your business online. However, there are some excellent, offline methods you can use to promote your business, too. Although online promotion is important, it’s crucial to remember to go back to the basics and do local offline promoting as well.

These strategies are so darn simple (Duplication!!!!) and do not consume any extra time of yours AND can even put more money in your pocket come tax time. By integrating your advertising and marketing into what you’re doing personally already, you’re able to write off expenses that you wouldn’t be able to normally like mileage. Besides, by focusing solely on internet marketing, you are missing out on 50% of the population and you NEVER know where your next “Superstar” may come from – that person who picks up that drop card you just left behind may be looking for just the right opportunity and it didn’t even take any effort on your part because all you did was leave a paper trail behind you while you were going about your normal day-to-day routine.

And don’t just think in terms of JUST business cards, flyers and drop cards. For example, leave behind a pen with your advertising message when filling out your deposit slip at the bank. Recycle your old magazines by placing a label with your advertising message leaving them in waiting rooms, etc. before you leave…..you get the picture. The list goes on so let your imagination run wild!!!

Word of caution….make sure to use common sense. For example, if you want to leave stuff on parked cars, please don’t put it on the windshield because that is just plain annoying. If you want to do it, put a drop card on the driver’s side door instead.
