I decided to build a website myself and just recently updated it with a lot of helpful information/photos, I have spent on advetising with the likes of yell, qype and PPC's, many hours putting myself in numerous listings and SEO, done well enough to be somewhere on googles 1st page searching "plasterer or builder Isle of Wight" my experience this past 9 months has been advertisers trying to scam money from me and not one customer from the web,

I am with Steve on this one - you really are bucking the trend! The only other possibility is that your site is not engaging the users and therefore they are not going to get the enquires. All websites are marketable but depending on the quality and message of the site will return you get can vary tremendously.

When you have done 10 posts, pop a link up to your website and myself and others might be able to give to a few pointers to increase those enquires

Always like a challenge, so if you fancy a wager, let me know. I'll give you an advert for 6 months for free, if you don't get any enquires, you can keep it, and post here and tell the world how bad we are, but if you do get some, then you have to pay for it, and post here and say how great we are...

Good offer from Steve - snatch his hand off!

Hi davaoprojects,

It is least likely that offline advertising is dead at the present time. Just because online marketing has grabbed the spotlight now does not mean that offline methods are dead. Several firms still believe in direct marketing tools other than email. Telemarketing, for example, is being used by many companies when it comes to lead generation and appointment setting.


Thanks,

Don't think that offline marketing is dead. Its about applying a mix of marketing both online and offline. In some businesses and industries you may employ a higher percentage of online marketing as it makes more sense to that particular company. Maybe a more important factor is to make sure the message is consistent and targeted to the audience that it is intented for. A business has to decide what their message is, how they want to distribute or break down their marketing (70% online-banners, online promos, social networking 30% offline- flyers, calls for example). A important thing to also take in mind is what a business is trying to acheive via marketing (dialogue, awareness, just sales) and then put measures in place to actually track the effectiveness of the marketing. If your online strategy is working then continue with that. If not then something slightly or completely different might be needed.

Offline marketing is alive as online marketing. I don't see how it could be dead.

TV advertising is more effective then radio. But it is costly.

Certainly it still works. I think, with other issues of offline marketing, there is another thing which is closely related to that, is the spread of technology and also local products .

Online advertising corroborates offline marketing efforts, and just relying upon one method is simply not enough anymore. Businesses want immediate results and everyone wants longevity of advertising efforts. Advertising with promotional products is one method that allows both. Give away a useful promo and your advertising goes on for years!

Both offline and online marketing we need to boost our sale of our products. If you are dealing with products those have demand only in the limited area. You should emphasize on offline marketing because it reaches to all, i mean to those who are not online including.

Again if the product has demand all over the world, emphasize on online marketing.

Thanks,
