BILLBOARDS

               One of the most expensive investment options, great for a GROUP of people or you and your
               business partners to split the cost.  Depending on the area, and the amount of TRAFFIC you are
               looking between $500-$5000 per week with many asking for a 4-week commitment!

               My HONEST suggestion, if you have that type of money to invest individually or as a group, you
               may want to hire a professional to design the BILLBOARD!  Again, start off with a less costly
               billboard, and scale up when you see success!


               COLD CALLING

               This isn’t for the weak of heart, and again I feel is ONLY good for certain industries.  I will not
               even dive into cold calling, other than to say this, FOLLOW GRANT CARDONE (and watch the
               movie Wolf Of Wall Street!)  He has tons of FREE cold calling training and tips, also he has
               inexpensive PRICED ones when on they are on sale.



               To wrap up OFFLINE MARKETING strategies, I want to HIGHLIGHT 2 key methods that are
               CRUICIAL to your business!

               Daymond John in his book “The Power of Broke” mentions when FUBU was just starting out,
               and with a little to none marketing budget saw an incredible solution to his problem, while
               benefiting others.

               To not tell the story in its entirety, back in the day in the streets of NYC, and still today, shop
               owners would pull down these plain, mental, and seemingly ugly barrier doors to lock up at
               night.  Realizing there was all this MARKETING space available with an UNTAPPED market, and
               TONS of traffic walk the streets at night.  Daymond hired a graffiti artists, and had them create
               unique designs for the FUBU brand.  For only about $100 per door, he has able to take over the
               entire area, and FUBU was everywhere!

               The store owners didn’t care, or ask for a cut because it actually enhanced their look, and didn’t
               affect their businesses during operating hours.  It was also the perfect audience targeting, and
               the rest is history!

               Regardless of your budgets, or your resources there is a SOURCE or method that hasn’t been
               tried, or hasn’t been executed correctly, if you find that method, perfect it, and replicate it,
               your business can be taken to the next level, and now you will be followed and copied by others
               (thus growing your brand in a different direction, the direction of the influencer, the innovator,
               and the creator!)
