Promoting Your Web Hosting Business: Do Back Window Stickers And Bumper Stickers Work?

There is a lot of hype online and many times it is difficult telling the difference between hype and viable marketing ideas.

One of the offline advertising methods that hype peddlers have been talking about a lot in recent times involves the use of bumper stickers. The big questions on the minds of many are; do bumper stickers work? Are they effective in generating targeted traffic? Can they be used to promote a web hosting business?

A good place to start when answering these questions is to think back to your own behavior when you're stuck in traffic or waiting at stop lights. Are you sometimes intrigued by a bumper or back window sticker on the car directly ahead of you? Do you sometimes make a mental note to check out the website as soon as you get to where you are going? I know I do. Admittedly, not every car sticker interests me. Most of them elicit a yawn from me at best. And that is where the targeting business comes in. Only those interested in a particular bumper sticker will be interested.

Do not fall into the temptation of creating a bumper sticker that is general so that it attracts the highest number of people who might be interested. Instead, carefully target the right audience and your target market. Remember that the objective of advertising is to sell, and you will not sell to folks who are not interested and have only been attracted to your site by curiosity or a trick.

The thing about bumper stickers is that they usually end up being exposed to a very high number of persons. This is a good thing because it is out of the multitudes of people that you will find your target audience.

This is especially important when it comes to hosting services. Although virtually everybody with an online presence needs a web host, it is a much smaller group of people who for various reasons will be looking for a new host at a particular point in time. A well thought out back window or bumper sticker will fish them out of the crowds.
