Offline Advertising:
Using advertising
resources of the real rather than the virtual marketing world
like newspapers, billboards, flyers, radio and TV spots etc.
Offline Advertising can be very effective, even for Internet
marketers promoting their websites, especially when one
is targeting a local public. But only very few marketers are
using this resource.
The biggest
difference to online advertising is that it is more effort for
the user to arrive at the advertised website because he cannot
only click a link as in online ads. Instead he has to memorize
the web address has to go online and then type it into the
browser address bar. Hence, less visitors can be expected
compared to online ads but the conversion
rates
can be expected to
be much higher because if a user is willing to undertake
all this actions to visit the site he must be really
interested.
