Well as you have told when we are offline we can message our friends to visit our site if it is useful for them. So Mobile Communication is also one point which you can add up here !!!!
Some of the points which you have told are paid services like t-shirt printing,tattoo printing…etc ,whereas mobile communication is free as you get some daily free sms packs so you can use it to promote your blog. Wat say??
Anyways Nice post .
Thanks

Hi Sunny,
Yes I am agree with your opinion like SMS.
Thanks for the best idea.
Advertisement on newspaper is obviously a costly approach. Instead of advertisement we can invest money on distributing T-Shirts having logo and name of a blog. This will be the reminder of blog in every blogger mind whenever he wear the T-shirt.
I would personally never advertise in a newspaper since it’s difficult to monitor your ROI. Instead I recommend you to wear a t-shirt with your URL everywhere. Wear it while you are shopping and I’m sure you will get a few new visitors.

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for the discussion about Offline blog promotion.
Nice idea to wear T-Shirt with Logo in while you are going to the market for shopping.
This is one big time promotions and some are costly, too. Though I do have a business card for my blog. I may do the other tips when my blog becomes commercial.

Wish you all the best for commercialization of of your blog.
I have been thinking of getting some business cards, but have been lazy. I think it’s nice when someone gives you theirs, it shows a bit of professional thinking. That’s my opinion.
About the Tattoo – that would be really funny if I did that, but where would I put it? I doubt I would actually do it.

Hi George,
Thanks for the valuable discussion here.
Man don’t miss the chance to spread your blog using business card.
Good ones, what I sometimes imagine is we can also create some desktop wallpapers and screensavers and distribute it free to some Internet Cafes and browsing areas
and also to some technical institutes (I am talking technology as I write on a technology blog). This can also be a good offline promotional activity.
Anyways, you have written a clean and clear article, it is simply great. Keep blogging and thanks for sharing.

Hi there,
I know these are expensive methods,but I am not discussing about financial condition of the blogger.
Thanks for the real alert.
Great list. Don’t forget the simple friends and family approach. Although you might not want to tell them until your blog has some activity but when you do, it’s always pretty easy to work your blog project into a conversation.
Hi Gabe,
First of all warm welcome on technogati.com.
Simple friends and family approach is also nice idea to promote the blog offline.
I really liked the T-Shirt and Local Meet ups idea. Promotion of any kind is effective in a way or another. Nice list buddy, Thanks for sharing.

Just joking or saying the reality ?
Newspapers and TV are good if you are very serious about branding. Phone SMS is also a great way to promote your blog.
