This is what we are learning right now in school, how important online marketing is for the offline world. It can translate to making it or breaking it.

I am in complete d with the writer of this very informative article. With out any shadow of doubt i can safely say that Internet marketing is the way to go during this difficult period of global financial crisis. Internet Marketing is far less expensive than traditional offline marketing. So if you want to give boost to your sale during this financial crisis with less spending, then only think for online marketing.

Years ago I began my marketing career in direct mail, I suppose was the net of the day (not worldwide, not instant, but widespread) and we could certainly reach a lot of people. Of course this came with a price since each letter or postcard (even at bulk rates) was expensive to send. However by being expensive, it made us pay attention to detail and try (at least in spirit) to get the copy as close to perfect as possible.

Then came the net, a tool so powerful that we can instantly communicate with someone on the other side of the planet, I do it everyday and it still amazes me.

Of course with something so powerful also comes abuse, guess it’s part of the territory. For me, I’m combining online and offline marketing in my local area, in fact I’m keying in on that. Which is not to say I don’t get visitors from far and wide, but most are from central TX.

Marketing is a skill that can never be mastered (at least not by me), and can also be improved upon. Keep up the good work on the blog, it’s appreciated, both for the content and the follow.

Online marketing is the reality of today’s world and any business that isn’t working at marketing online, isn’t taking marketing seriously enough. Still amazing how many old line businesses still don’t get this. Nice to see more turn around.

The concept of internet marketing is now getting more receptive among offline businesses. However many of these offline business owners have the misconception that internet marketing is a low cost alternative to their offline promotions which may not necessary be true. They have to be educated and make aware of the opportunity cost involved in going online. And I think conducting such workshops definitely is a value add to them.

The issue is with overcoming skeptism that online marketing doesn’t work. I know as I’ve tried and a lot of mom and pop businesses just don’t believe in the power of the net.

Does she have a website? Does she capture visitors emails? Is she giving away a valuable viral report? Etc. etc.

Great post. Do you have case studies of companies you have helped with your processes? Interested to see how the small offline business can succeed – a friend is a physiotherapist. Would the concept work for her? Thanks, Fleur
