\"Old-school<\/a>

I was lucky enough to be an intern at an ad agency for four summers, so I existed in the \u201cworking world\u201d before email <\/a>and the internet and therefore witnessed old-school marketing firsthand. (Yes, I\u2019m ancient. But young at heart.) Everything was written, photocopied, faxed and delivered to desks by hand. Phones weren\u2019t in your pocket; they were wired and took up valuable desk space with their blinking lights and multiple lines.<\/p>\n

Things are WAY better now. Faster. Easier. Portable. But while office technology like fax machines have become a \u201cthey still exist?!?\u201d kind of thing, I still believe there\u2019s a great deal of merit to be found in some of the marketing tactics that we used way back in the 20th century.<\/p>\n

How to Use Old-School Marketing Tactics Today<\/h2>\n

#1 Old School-Marketing via Brochures\/Flyers\/Handouts<\/h3>\n

Some people still like to read physical things \u2014 printed materials that they can hold in their hand, leave on their desk, or keep in a file for later reference.<\/p>\n

Why They\u2019re Relevant:<\/em> It\u2019s hard to read a PDF on most smartphones, on which so many people check their email and handle a lot of day-to-day tasks. So, while it\u2019s not always ideal to hand out printed pieces, it can be easier to read and deal with for some people \u2014 and it saves them the trouble of printing out PDFs or pages from your website, which might not print very well.<\/p>\n

#2 Coupons<\/span><\/p>\n

People still get circulars and mailers full of local coupons delivered to their homes. Marketers wouldn\u2019t do that if it didn\u2019t work; that\u2019s a lot of paper and ink and postage costs.<\/p>\n

Why They\u2019re Relevant<\/em>:<\/em> Again, it\u2019s easier than having people print out coupons from your site (using their own paper and printer ink) \u2014 and relying on the quality of their printer to produce a usable coupon that they can bring to your location. And savings offers are always a hit if you hit the right person at the right time.<\/p>\n

#3 Direct Mail<\/span><\/p>\n

Targeting will never go out of style. In fact, the internet took it to a whole new level. Whatever your industry<\/a>, whatever your hobby, wherever you are, you can find like-minded people who are seeking out people like you.<\/p>\n

Why It\u2019s Relevant<\/em>:<\/em> If you can reach out to prospects with a memorable message and an attractive offer \u2014 and give them multiple ways to connect with you (phone, email, website<\/a>, or even a pre-paid postcard) \u2014 you can achieve a tremendous return on investment (ROI) on a relatively small budget.<\/p>\n

PRO TIP: You don\u2019t want to be viewed as \u201cjunk mail,\u201d so do something to stand out from the rest of the pile of mail \u2014 try a unique size or shape mailer, color palette, headline, savings offer, etc. <\/em><\/p>\n

#4 Premium Items <\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you call them premium items, giveaways, or \u201cbranded stuff to throw in a drawer,\u201d if you can make your item something that\u2019s both relevant to your business and useful to your audience<\/a>, that\u2019s a win-win investment. (Especially when you can save money by ordering in bulk.)<\/p>\n

Why It\u2019s Relevant<\/em>:<\/em> It\u2019s relevant when you make it that way. I have a couple branded flash drives on my desk right now \u2014 one on a keychain, the other that\u2019s actually inside a purple rubber bracelet. A giveaway like a flash drive can be a valuable little tool for your prospects to have with them (at work or at home) if they have files they want to take with them.<\/p>\n

PRO TIP: Think beyond the mouse pad. Yes, we all have work spaces (even us freelancers), and if your item is useful on an everyday basis, that person is seeing your logo several times a day.<\/em><\/p>\n

#5 Print Ads<\/span><\/p>\n

While so much content has moved from the print world to the online world, that doesn\u2019t mean people have stopped reading magazines and newspapers. Millions of people continue to subscribe to periodicals, and if you\u2019re in a very specific industry, there are always \u201cmust read\u201d publications that you use to stay on top of news and trends.<\/p>\n

Why It\u2019s Relevant<\/em>:<\/em> A creative, well-written and designed print ad will always stand out from the competition (and other advertisers) to communicate your message effectively. The great thing about having a print ad or campaign that you\u2019re proud of? You can repurpose it for use online as a banner ad or microsite.<\/p>\n

#6 Radio<\/span><\/p>\n

True Confession: If I could just write radio spots all day, I would \u2014 and not just because I love doing voice-over work! Radio is a fantastic creative medium that writers love,\u00a0because aside from the music and sound effects, it\u2019s all about the words<\/strong>. But at the heart of this clever little medium is the logic and structure involved in writing a radio spot that helps you relate to listeners \u2014 who are conditioned to the cadence of \u201cintro\/offer, story\/details, repeat offer\u201d of a :30 or :60 commercial.<\/p>\n

Why It\u2019s Relevant<\/em>:<\/em> Terrestrial radio has survived, despite the advent of subscription radio and smartphones with music apps. Probably because it\u2019s free, as well as the fact that the cost-per-million (CPM) of buying time on radio stations is still great. Reaching captive audiences where radio is still king \u2014 in commuter cars, in waiting rooms everywhere, etc. \u2014 is a fantastic way to get your message out there.<\/p>\n

Times Have Changed \u2014 But Old-School Marketing Classics Endure<\/span><\/p>\n

It would be silly to just forget about these marketing tactics \u2014 which, when executed creatively and strategically, can still get you great results for your marketing dollar. So make sure you keep them in mind, especially with planning for 2017 going on right now!<\/p>\n
