Yes, word of mouth advertisement can be very effective but the only disadvantage of it is, you can hardly reach a lot of users, unless the brand is known by many.

Thanks for the great article. It is definitely true that using old-fashioned marketing can still be effective. Most of your efforts should still be put towards online marketing though.

You mentioned a lot of great ways to do offline promotion. Some of these require an investment that many people are not ready to take.
I think offline promotion is a great way of promoting your products and services. You can always put an ad in the paper or pay someone on Fiverr to make flyers with your product/service and distribute them in a campus nearby for close to nothing.
If advertising your product/service on radio sounds expensive then think again. I remember seeing few Gigs on Fiverr where some people will advertise you on small radio shows or online news stations for a very small price.

I am a fan of offline advertisement especially if the target audience really comes from those who are not using internet that much.
I have seen some of the advocacy bloggers who use local bulletin boards and related town hall meetings to promote their websites, something that I find effective since I also got curious and did some search on the URLs they have shared.
