What can online research teach you about offline marketing?
Online research can show you that Offline Marketing works and not just for offline business but for building your online business too.
Seems counter intuitive but Internet traffic proves it.
If you look at all the traffic going to a site and the unique visits are high, the traffic coming from referring sites are low, the searches coming from Google and not keyword driven but are the name of the business or website you can be pretty sure they are doing effective offline marketing.
Recently I was doing some research for a client and found just such a situation. I showed it to the client and discussed it with them. They were thinking of reducing their offline marketing efforts and focusing more time, effort and money on the online piece.
This helped them see that to do online you can also use offline marketing not only does it work but with so many businesses abandoning traditional offline source there are opportunities for smart entrepreneurs to slip in and drive traffic to your website site
