The sugalicious way of life

I know that its an online business you are doing or its an online business you want to establish but online marketing is not the only way to advertise your business. There are a number of offline methods that will give you targeted traffic. Offline is not the most effective way of marketing, however, it can give you additional traffic.

You can speak at gatherings such as seminars or functions. You can talk about your business and what you offer on your website. it's a good way to get word out about your business.

There is also business cards which you can include your site url and distribute around. You can go to seminars for instance which are about your area of specialty and network with people there making sure that each time you give them your card. If they are interested to find out more they can then look you up on the internet.

There is the newspaper through the classifieds. You can advertise your online business in your local paper for instance or even the national paper depending on your budget. However, be careful start small and first make sure this actually effective in getting you quality traffic. Before you go all out make sure that it is worth the cost.

An obvious way is to tell your family and friends. You can have honest reviews from them. You never know they might even pass on your link to other people. Referrals are always beneficial. It doesn't hurt and usually just takes 1 group email anyway.

If you are not on a tight budget trade publications are not a bad way to go. They allow you to publish your business for a price of course.

Another way to promote your business is through promotions. For instance you can promote a seminar about your subject and offer promotional items for people to get for free. Your business site will be on the items so that people can check you out when they get you home.

These are ways through which you can gain more traffic. They are definitely not as effective as online methods but they do not hurt to give them a go.
