9.- Card Decks Advertising: The card deck you advertise in should be targeted toward internet users if you looking to use offline advertising to promote a website. But, also you can use coupons decks that can generate a ton of traffic full of hot propects and buyers.

10.- Chamber Of Commerce or Other Business Associations: Use the power of networking with other local business owners to boost your referrals by word-of-mouth. Plus, you can have the Chamber of Comerce help you host a free seminar for their members, where you will talk how your product or service can solve an specific problem.

You need to target your offline advertising to groups of people that will actually be interested in your product or service, for example if you're selling business books, you will want to market to small business owners, and where new entrepreneurs meet.

So, if you have a business that is fully based online using offline advertising to make money online is a great idea because research shows that many consumers and business owners today go online to learn more about products and services they want or need...

Attending conferences is ok but wonder how many listen to you at the time of conferences and is the time spent on networking at conferences sufficient.

Any pointers on this for especially businesses like healthcare bpo would be highly solicited.
