Self Promotion Offline Tip #39

I do apologize for not updating for so long but I have been busy promoting myself which you all should be doing as well!  You can't rely on others to spread your business for you because you have to actively be doing it yourself because no one knows about your business more than you.  So get on out there and do something!

#39. Get your business info printed up on balloons! This is very economical to do! You then distribute them to local community centers, sporting events and other types of places where parents book their childrens birthday parties!

These balloons can be displayed at the birthday party giving you business exposure. You can usually get them done for .3-.8 cents each. Your business name & website address is all you need on them!

#38. Contact local area hotels, motels and bed & breakfast inns and ask them if you can do up a Lobby Basket and leave it in their Lobby.

What is a Lobby Basket? You make up little packs of info about your business & products and put them into the Lobby Basket for their patrons to take.

They usually have a pamphlet wall or area too with pamplets from local area attractions etc. If they dont have a lobby basket area, inquire about leaving your business info in their pamphlet area.

Self Promotion Offline Tip #37

To do well in any business, you must be strong and hang in there because only those who stay around will find the fruits of their labor worthwhile and will reap the benefits. Most people quit too early and would rather take things as a loss rather than wait it out and believe in their business and see it flourish. Quitters are too negative which is why they did not survive or choose to survive. Don't quit, believe in yourself.

#37. Local City Maps! These days even city maps have advertising on them! You can usually get a small business ad printed on them for an economical price. Don't advertise your personal location. If you don't have a business location then advertise your website address or email address.

Self Promotion Offline Tip #35

Ask yourself this

What are you doing to promote yourself?

#35. Get a vehicle banner made for your automobile. I recommend the vinyl window clings or vinyl cling ones that stick to your automobile but dont scratch or remove the paint. You can easily remove them when washing your vehicle!

#34. Get your business information printed up on pencils and hand them out to local colleges and technical schools for them to hand out to their adult students! This keeps your business information in front of them! (make sure you only donate them to schools with adult students).

Self Promotion Offline Tip #33

The best way to advertise yourself is through your friends and family. Remind them about what you do at least 3 times so that it can stick into their heads and soon enough they will be able to associate yourself with whatever it is that you do. Gears will start to turn in their heads and soon enough they will remember what you do.

#33. You can take this phone book advertising one step further by finding out what company makes the plastic vinyl phone book covers which have local business ads on them and get your business added to it!

Last week, I posted tab flyers at local colleges to prove the statistics of advertisement and it proved to be successful. I posted advertisements for SantasGiftsAllYear all over the schools and came back a week later to see the progress and the results were great. Tabs were taken by curious other students and maybe even professors or other staff members. So get off your butt and start advertising offline!

#32. Get your business listed in your cities telephone book yellow pages! Alot of them also have a coupon section too!

Self Promotion Offline Tip #31

When there are holidays, then there are holiday promotions. You should always check with networks and see what kind of promotion they are doing because it could earn you some extra cash on top of what you are earning. Who doesn't like extra free money? I know I do!

#31. Hold a local area community Block Party at your home or local community center! Families are always looking for something to do during the nice weather seasons!

Optional: Attend your neighborhood block party and set up a table with your product offerings or samples. Get out there in your community and get your business seen!

Self Promotion Offline Tip #30

Everyday is a holiday really so celebrate with everyone that you know. Connecting with others is very important because it will really put you out there and you will continue to be on everyone's mind. If you lose touch with others then you also lose out on that person's social network which does mean losing out on potential business. So remember to be a part of everyone's lives and they will make you a part of their lives as well.

#30. Attend Local Area holiday shopping events. Customers who are ready to spend holiday shopping money turn out for these events by the thousands! You can usually get a booth for less than $50.00 so they are economical to participate in!

Self Promotion Offline Tip #29

Putting yourself out should always be an everyday thing. No matter where you go, no matter what you do, no matter who you're with. Remember to always let everyone know what you do and don't forget to listen to what they have to say as well because you never know what they may need from you so they can easily fall into your lap without you even trying to sell anything to them. So be sure to listen!

#29. Local Television Stations are always holding on-air contests & website contests for their viewers, contact them about you donating a prize or gift certificate to sponsor one of their contests! Great business exposure for you!

If you were watching the Super Bowl then you would have known that today was free Grand Slams at Dennys from 6 AM to 2 PM.

Self Promotion Offline Tip #26

Usually I never believed in sweepstakes because I never won any sweepstakes before nor did anyone that I know ever won so I was very skeptical about entering. Little did I know that my fate would change for the better and my belief in sweepstakes has forever changed. In an attempt to rid myself of useless points, I tossed all of my points into a win a free Flip Video sweepstakes. A month later, a package arrived on my footsteps and with disbelief, inside was a free Flip Video and a congratulation letter from the sweepstakes! Sweepstakes are real after all, who knew. Also, just this weekend, my cousin won a LCD TV from a raffle!

#26. Contact small local area businesses such as hair salons, massage parlors, boutiques, banks etc.

See if you can set up a table for 1 week with 3 of your best selling products on it along with some catalogs, fliers, coupons and your business card. Keep a basket on the table for any customer orders which you can follow up on after you return back to pick up your display. Offer the store owner or manager a free gift for allowing you to do this.

You can also offer to donate a prize for a contest if they let you display the prize donated & get a copy of the contestants entry blanks after the promotion closes.

Self Promotion Offline Tip #25

Did you know that over 55 million Americans watch the Super Bowl? Astounding isn't it? But it's still nothing compared to the hundreds of millions that tune in to watch worldwide! The Super Bowl can give you great exposure if you can manage to sneak yourself in front of the camera. It sure beats spending over 2 million dollars for a 15 second commercial. Take a poster board and a marker and draw yourself up an advertisement and maybe the camera would get a glimpse of your poster board. If it does then 50 million Americans have seen your advertisement and if it doesn't then everyone around you at the stands have. It's a win win situation without breaking the bank.

#25. Community Clipper Coupon Packs & Sales Flyer Mailings. These days a lot of communities have mailings such as these, contact them and see how you can participate and advertise your business.
