Offline promotion is any marketing that does not occur on the Internet. Traditional advertising such as magazines, radio/TV, mailers, store displays, etc. are all examples. Offline promotion has historically primarily promoted a company or product, only adding a URL tag as an afterthought. However, as the web has become more popular more ads are emphasizing promotion of the site and its features.
