7 Offline Marketing Tips to Grow Your Local Business

Hey, what’s a digital marketing company doing writing about offline customer acquisition tactics? Well, even though the team at MORBiZ specializes in helping small businesses with their online presence, our ultimate goal is to help them grow in the world that isn’t hidden behind a screen. While the web has certainly made it easier to reach a large audience, conducting offline marketing can help you capture even more customers. Here’s our offline marketing tips to help you grow your small business.
Media Pitches to Local Publications
Small newspapers and magazines that focus on local communities love to share stories about business owners new and old. Whether you’re celebrating a grand opening or a 50 year anniversary, or have other news to share with the community, connect with a local reporter that can share your story!
Coupons
Running coupons in print publications can bring new customers into your shop and turn them into repeat customers.
Sandwich Boards
A sandwich board, basically a small A-frame sign, outside your shop or on a nearby street corner, can point would-be passerby toward your business. Whether it’s a permanent sign or a chalkboard with a fresh message every day, this small investment could lead to new business.
Direct Mail
Have you considered sending out a mailer? While more spendy than some of these other ideas, it’s a great way to grow awareness of your business.
Posters/Flyers
Hanging up flyers isn’t just for local bands. If your area grocery stores or other community hubs still have bulletin boards, use the space to advertise your business.
Business Cards
Don’t forget to place business cards at your checkout area. These are simple for people to grab and helps them remember who to turn to next time they need your goods or services.
Branded Items
Giving out small branded items like pens, keychains or even sunglasses will help get your name out in the community.
