Offline Promotion is key to increasing online sales
Press releases - Press releases are fantastic for for offline marketing and promotion. Press releases or news releases as they're sometimes known are newsworthy stories about your organisation that you send to various sections of the media. These sections of the media must be related to your market sector for you to have any chance of success. Newsworthy stories are stories your target audience might be interested in. If the journalist reads it and likes it they may publish it or some of its contents in his or her publication, if this happens you're on to a winner because the public in general are much more responsive to a news story than a plain old hyped up advertisement. So they might enquire about or even purchase your products or services. Using press releases for offline marketing of your website uses the same principals, if it's newsworthy release it. Newsworthy events for websites include website launches, website re launches and new online services among other items. Also don't forget online press releases!
Freebies & Giveaways - This easy way is a personal favorite of mine. It involves buying and sending out promtotional material such as pencils, pens, t-shirts, mugs, mouse pads, calendars, key-chains, bumper stickers, Cuddly Toys and the like. All these promtotional material will have your URL, Logo, or Email address located somewhere on them assisting with market offline and draw visitors to your website.
Offline Marketing will increase revenue from your website
Newspapers, classifieds and related magazines - Printed matter which includes newspapers, periodicals and magazines is another avenue where your can have your company website revealed for everyone to see. It's best first to start promoting your products, services and company website in the local rag and then if it works out well continue onto regional and national publications. If you can't afford the common graphical advertisement as seen throughout newspapers and periodicals related to your market sector don't worry as most print media have classified ad sections. Classified ads assist you to reach a targeted audience very cheaply with a simple short message and of course your company website is included prominently too again a great source of offline marketing for your business!
Word of Mouth - simplest and a very viral form of offline marketing, your satisfied customers and friends just pass it on!

Pool Vehicles - We all see vans with company names and telephone numbers on them driving our roads and motorways. This is a excellent idea as it gives potential customers the chance while out and about to learn about the company and also learn about how to contact them should they need the service or item for sale they offer at some stage in the future. I often wonder why more websites aren't promoted in this way by simply adding the company website URL also, you definitely should do this as part of your Offline Marketing!
