Dear Caroline,
Traditional marketing and online marketing, using one or the other is not your only choice.  This week I covered ways for you to integrate both online and offline marketing, happily together.  I also covered how to use typically online tools offline.  Online, offline, traditional or not mixing your marketing techniques can only bring you big benefits.
 
As Always, Happy Marketing!

Article Marketing The Traditional Way

When we speak of article marketing we typically mean online. Internet businesses have used article marketing as a way to build links to their web properties and to drive traffic to landing pages and it's a very effective method of marketing. Your business can benefit from article marketing online and offline and use both strategies to compliment each other. If you run an online business then you can still use offline marketing tactics to get people to visit your website. Article marketing is effective online as well as offline.  Read on to find out more about article marketing.

Include Myriad Search into your online competitive analysis and your online marketing will improve.  Continue reading for more on competitive research.

That means you can still reach them through online marketing if your marketing message is effective and carefully packaged to appeal to that group. Integrated marketing is the next wave of online business marketing. While online marketing works for some groups, it doesn't work everywhere and for everyone. Even younger generations still read magazines and do off line shopping; you'll still need to reach them through traditional methods of marketing.  Continue reading for more on traditional marketing methods that still work.

Good Web Copy Builds Trust

Online, especially, copywriting is more about conveying information and developing relationships more than simply selling. You have to build their trust before you can ask for their business and to build trust you have to have copy that lets them know who you are, what your values are, and how you conduct business.
