If you have been marketing online for a while now, and haven't tapped in to offline markets you are leaving money on the table. Marketers who focus on offline markets are reporting good conversions and are able to sell more on the backend. Mostly they end up getting lifetime customers with recurring billing since offline merchants are not aware of the different options available. Recurring billing arrangements can be done via paypal, 2checkout and other payment processors. Once you have established a solid reputation in your local community, your internet marketing skills can lead to greater success. Think about it most of these merchants would have never heard of terms like SEO , List building, Viral marketing so on and so forth. Therefore your part is to educate your off-line audience on the benefits of having a web presence and get paid handsomely month after month. They are not only seeing some good results but are also learning something new from you every now and then. You can educate them using power point presentations, videos or just even a plain old folder with some screen-shots will do the job. You are now one of their god-send people and anytime they want to try something new online guess whom they are going to call. It has been several times said in the online world that if you truly want to dominate a niche you have to be the go-to guy in the market. You can accomplish this far more easily in the off-line world and establish yourself as the first person to offer this kind of services. Now let me side track a little bit and ask you two questions who was the first person to land on the moon? Who was the first person that popularized e-books? Just in case you didn't know the answer for the second question it was Mark Joyner and it has helped him tremendously to be perceived as an authority figure. In marketing lingo its called 'primacy' people easily remember companies that pioneer new ideas or new products. You don't even have to be a computer geek to take advantage of these off-line markets you just need to be able to organize and ensure things are running smoothly. You can start with a simple mini-site for your client and once he starts seeing the results you can backend with auto-responders, PR campaigns, adwords campaigns and much more the possibilities are endless. |
