need help with offline webhosting business

hello, i'm a graphics designer and i'm from argentina, i'm starting a webhosting business here in my country.

i know this kind of business is kind of hard to get customers online because is a very competitive niche, that is why i'm trying to make my income from offline marketing.

i'm just wondering what would be a good way to get clients for webhosting without using online marketing ?

by the moment i'm contacting a company that makes targeted email marketing, they have targeted databases in diverse niches and i'm thinking in buy an email campaign to get my firsts customers.

so, i'm open to hear suggestion to start and scale this business, thanks.

best regards vempireguy

hello, i was in this hosting business 15 years a go, it was hard to start getting customers for me but i was in a country no drived by the online world in those years.

about your email campaign, if the company will give you real target emails, i think that will work.

If you're going with completely offline marketing, it'll be much easier to sell a 'full service' package with web design, domain, hosting, SEO, etc.

Selling web hosting alone is already a relatively narrow target market, and further limiting yourself to offline marketing would be shooting yourself in the foot.

thank you for the tips, any more suggestions?

I agree with @Stavro - just to add to what he said, starting an online business without utilizing the internet is extremely hard. You have the world at your fingertips with the internet, simply have to find a way to utilize it.

I have to agree with others. You are limiting your reach by narrowing your niche. Also, not incorporating internet marketing in your strategy seems like a waste.
