What a great question, as often people totally overlook the offline marketing which is where I got my first sale and downline.
I put up flyers in laundromats, and also have a flyer with pull tabs and put it on the outside of the door of my car anytime I park in a mall parking lot.
Put your business name and link on the visor of your car, and flip it down when parked someplace.
Business cards are great put I print on the back a nice note to the person who may pick up the card. Cards are almost free forms of advertising, and can be "left" almost anywhere, one at a time but don't dump a bunch or you look desperate but one lonely card looks like it might have been left by accident, and might be something someone else had wanted, which make it more attractive to the passerby who comes across it, and at the least if someone throws it out, you only lose one.
Magnetic signs for the side of your car with link on it...I use shortened links they can remember, or the custom domains from SFI that have a flair of their own, and are attractive sounding by themselves.
When you are wondering what to do next, drop into a seniors centre and just talk to people, many of them may just be looking for someone to talk to or something to occupy their time. If you do not get anyone interested in SFI you will have had a nice chat and be welcome back again, where you may find someone.
Get a booth at a school even or a trunk or tag sale, make inexpensive t-shirts to sell, and when they buy a flea market t-shirt they will be walking advertising for YOU.
If you have a booth at a flea market you can just advertise the business, people at flea markets are always looking for a deal, and Pricebenders auctions often sounds like just that deal, and they can make money also.
Just a few of the 100 things I thought of today, enjoy and just open your mind to what is around you and use it to promote you business.
