Offline Promotion Tactics

Viral marketing, search engine optimization, social networking optimization, PPC campaigns... There are many cute ways to drive traffic to your free websiteon the actual web. But that leaves out a whole world that exists outside of the internet. Remember that world? Straight out of the tombs of the ancient Egyptians, here are a few methods for promoting your site in the real world:

Word Of Mouth

Whether we like it or not, the old way of spreading news by talking to as many people as possible is still very relevant. Think about it for a second. How do you know about Facebook, Google or MySpace? Someone told you about them at school, your office, a party, wherever. Let the world discover your new free website, by telling all of your friends and co-workers about it, and asking them to kindly spread the word. Make sure your domain name is easy and catchy, so people will remember it easily.

Design a Business Card

Do you have a business, personal or mobile contact card? Surely, you must add your new website's address to it. And don't just write it at the bottom. It should appear in a visible and valuable location, like right under your name or at the back of the card. An example:

Alfred Pennyworth
www.WebWonders.com
Make a Website Wonderfully
123 Wayne St., Gotham City, 10245
Tel: (random meaningless numbers)

Use the Yellow Pages

Add your new address to your details on the local Yellow Pages guide. Believe it or not, people actually still use that thing. For instance, if your business teaches people how to build a website, a URL on your Yellow Pages ad is a brilliant method of introducing potential clients to your work.

Include Your URL on All Forms of Advertisement

If you have envelopes, papers, postcards or any kind of stationery with a company letterhead, add your website address to the template. Any opportunity to insert your website's URL should be taken full advantage of. People are getting used to searching for URL's on posters, street ads, TV commercials and even in radio jingles.

Don't forget that if someone heard about your site offline and chose to give it a try, they need something in return for their effort. Designing a website is not enough. Your design, content and overall web experience should be prime stuff. Wix provides you with all the tools you need to build a stunning free Flash website, so use them. It's easy.
