I wanted to get some input from other people in regards to offline promos. Do you think it can be more profitable promoting your own domain name rather than one of the sites? I am thinking about concentrating my ad dollar offline rather than online. I was thinking of promoting a domain name, but simply having it redirect to a party skin rather than it being a content/promotional site. I just think I might get more signups that way rather than promoting the party skin along with a bonus code. I think someone can remember my domain, but that it might be harder to remember the skin's name AND the bonus code. Any thoughts?
Here are some of the ideas that I have for offline advertising, please tell me what you think and maybe throw in some other suggestions. One big option I have been looking into are the restroom ads that would be located in sports bars, pool halls, golf courses, and night clubs. I live in Myrtle Beach, SC so I figure I have a good area to promote offline. I am also planning other ads at sports bars that include coasters, matches, and pint glasses with my domain on them. I am trying to get some ads going at golf courses as well. Trying to get some ads on the carts, on towels, etc.
On another note, have you guys had any luck working with merchants that will allow you to have a spot to permanently have business cards/fliers? Anyone had any luck promoting outside at a professional sports venue? If so, do you hand out the fliers or do think business cards would work better? Better to hand them out or place them on vehicles?
Any comments additional ideas would be greatly appreciated. I see no reason why we can't share good offline promo ideas, as most of us are probably located in different locales.
