Have you ever wondered how to use your offline marketing to drive people online so you can achieve better results and maximize your sales and marketing goals?When people do their marketing they’re either doing online marketing or offline marketing. They make the mistake of not marrying them together so it’s more effective.Let’s say you send out a piece of lumpy mail (direct mail with a promotional product so it gets more attention and your branding stays with the recipient). With this lumpy mail, you would add a call to action to drive people online. It could be as simple as asking them to:

• Like or follow you on social media
• Subscribe to your blog
• Go to your landing page
• Or download something that you’re offering

To make this easier to understand let’s use my Fourth of July promotion as an example.

1. We started with the American flag branded coozie and created a marketing piece to go inside of it wishing them a happy 4th of July (the branded coozie is used when they are celebrating on this day and throughout the year so our name stays in front of them).
2. Tied in the coozie by saying “Raise a glass to celebrate the home of the free because of the brave” (adding memory hooks makes us more memorable).
3. Then gave them an incentive to go online and take a quick trivia test to see how American they are (Engaging them and capturing their email address so we can continue building the relationship with them to convert them to a client).
4. Once they do then they’ll receive a code for 10% off any USA made product in our online catalog (driving sales to our website).

You’ll want to be as effective as possible with any marketing campaign that you do. So, you’ll use your promotions in as many places as possible. For this one we’ll:

1. Mail it out
2. Send an email blast to our entire database.
3. Put it on social media
4. Add it to our email signature
5. Put it on our website

As you can see, we maximized this promotion to get the most out of it. This one simple promotion will capture new leads, increase sales, save our clients money and will help us be remembered all while being fun and celebrating our great nation! I’m sure you agree that’s a win-win. 😊If you need help creating your next promotion just email me!.
