The internet has changed a great deal about the world of marketing, shifting the focus from offline marketing to online marketing. Whether you chose to improve SEO, establish an email marketing strategy or use social media management, there are endless marketing channels that enable you to boost business and enhance clicks.
Do Offline publications make a Difference?
Offline marketing still plays an important role for any business and creating offline publications remains a vital part of the business process. Despite the ubiquitous nature of the internet, countless people from across the globe prefer to read physical offline publications rather than resort to the internet to do the same.
There are many different types of offline marketing strategies including outdoor advertising, indoor advertising and targeted SMS services. Another offline marketing technique used by businesses is to create offline publications, which are essentially recreations of your online publications for physical use.
Offline publications primarily include magazines, newspapers, leaflets, flyers and printed advertisements. Businesses can take advantage of offline publications to market their business and boost brand awareness. These publications must be carefully researched, planned and executed in order to be effective. They need to take into account:
- Style
- Format
- Design
- Colours
- Branding
- Company voice
- Aesthetic appeal
- Target market
They also need to focus on high quality content creation that readers can learn from, benefit from and enjoy. Otherwise you run the risk of creating an offline publication that does not generate a response from the reader. In this respect they will not be interested in reading future releases of your offline publication.
Although a large percentage of businesses resort primarily to online publications, offline publications should never be overlooked. Offline publications have the potential to earn a business 50 times more than an online marketing strategy when executed correctly, resulting in revenue driven by various channels.
Establishing your offline publications in an online environment is particularly easy for businesses that already have an offline brand. A study recently carried out found that publications of this nature have strong relationships with advertisers and as such it is easier for them to take advantage when and if they choose to launch their publication online.
