I am with Steve on this one - you really are bucking the trend! The only other possibility is that your site is not engaging the users and therefore they are not going to get the enquires. All websites are marketable but depending on the quality and message of the site will return you get can vary tremendously.

When you have done 10 posts, pop a link up to your website and myself and others might be able to give to a few pointers to increase those enquires

Good offer from Steve - snatch his hand off!

Default offline marketing still works

Hi davaoprojects,

It is least likely that offline advertising is dead at the present time. Just because online marketing has grabbed the spotlight now does not mean that offline methods are dead. Several firms still believe in direct marketing tools other than email. Telemarketing, for example, is being used by many companies when it comes to lead generation and appointment setting.


Thanks,

Don't think that offline marketing is dead. Its about applying a mix of marketing both online and offline. In some businesses and industries you may employ a higher percentage of online marketing as it makes more sense to that particular company. Maybe a more important factor is to make sure the message is consistent and targeted to the audience that it is intented for. A business has to decide what their message is, how they want to distribute or break down their marketing (70% online-banners, online promos, social networking 30% offline- flyers, calls for example). A important thing to also take in mind is what a business is trying to acheive via marketing (dialogue, awareness, just sales) and then put measures in place to actually track the effectiveness of the marketing. If your online strategy is working then continue with that. If not then something slightly or completely different might be needed.

Offline marketing is alive as online marketing. I don't see how it could be dead.
