Creative Online and Offline Tactics for Promoting Your Internet Business by Gary Messinger | on June 28, 2013 There are tons of things you can do to promote your internet business. Most of these tactics won’t even cost you a penny. All you need is patience, hard work, and a little bit of creativity. Before you know it, you’ll be enjoying the perks of heavier website traffic, more visitors, and more sales! Here are some ideas to get you started: · Put your URL everywhere. No, you don’t have to hire a graffiti artist to spray paint your URL on public places. Put it on your business cards, email signatures, letterheads, flyers, brochures, promotional gift items, press releases, shipping boxes, shopping bags, posters, postcard notices, product catalogs, and any other item relevant to your business. And be sure to check the spelling! One mistake can mean a great loss for your internet business. · Join the local Chamber of Commerce. This is a good way to expand your network. Not only that, it also adds credibility to your business. · Give away your business cards. Don’t leave home without your business cards. Give it to whomever you meet or come across with that you think will be a good contact for your business. · Use your vehicle to promote your website. Put a sticker of your business website at the back of your car or company vehicle. · Explore email marketing. Email is a quick and convenient way to get in touch with potential customers. But be careful about this route, since many internet business emails now go directly to the trash. You need to formulate a subject line that will get your message read. Make sure that the content of your email is for the benefit of your customers, not yours. · Launch promotional gigs and contests in social media channels like Facebook and Twitter. This will not only increase “likes” or number of followers, but will also generate more leads for your online business. · Submit a guest post to other blogs and accept guest posts from other websites. It’s a win-win situation. You get free content and free promotion at the same time! · Be active in online forums, discussion groups, chats and social media commentary. Always include your URL at the end (in your signature) but never hard-sell your products or services in there. · Include a product catalog for every order made from your website. This ensures that when the customer wants something more, it would be easier for him to find out what else you’re offering. · Reward customers for spreading the word about your business. For example, you can launch a promotional gig that lets a buyer get 50 percent off on any product if he can get at least three referrals to your website. All these are highly effective tactics that will surely boost the sales of your internet business. In the online world, as long as you’re hardworking, determined, patient, and resourceful, success won’t be too hard to reach. P.S. – I can help you promote your business in even more ways! Don’t have your own business! No problem! Copy and paste the link below, enter and submit your email address and let’s get started! socialmediabar/garys-blog
