When placing print classified or display ads targeting a website, target magazines that have a computer related section for your ad, when possible. This advertising techniques will help attract people with Internet access and email. Again, this can be handled also by your advertising agent who knows the ins and outs of the business.

2. MAILING LIST
Mailing list is still very effective advertising techniques in collecting contact information of your potential clients especially when you have a high traffic online presence, the internet version of this is called Opt-in list. Purchase or rent postal mailing lists and set up regular direct mail campaigns. If you make sure the lists include email addresses, you’ll be able to cross promote via email and know they probably have Internet access, too, to help draw them to your site.
3. TV SPOTS or TV Advertising
If your budget is good you will never go wrong with TV commercial. Check into commercial spots on local cable television. Pricing ranges vary, and you could get a bargain early morning spot & catch business people who are early risers. The best way to do this approach is to hire a media agent who will handle all the hassle for you. Target your campaign around shows that feature Internet use / computers, too, when you can. See about being in the same spot just before or after a regularly scheduled program to target the same readers over and over, so that they’ll commit your site to memory and click it on. This is so far the oldest advertising techniques that is still effective so far.

6. PROMOTIONAL GIFTS
Give away free pens, pencils, mouse pads, note pads, yellow stickies, etc. that carry your website on them and contact information.
