You Can Grow Your Email List Using Offline Tactics
Drop
You can create a program for business cards in the areas of your brick and mortar store that have traffic. This could be at your checkout or sales counter. Incentivize or offer a contest for people who add their business card to the dropbox.

Trade Shows and Events

You might consider running a giveaway or contest at your booth.
Visitors will win a prize by dropping off their business card or filling out a ballot with their email address.
Check with the Trade Show organizers to see if there is a list of attendees that you can purchase. You can then capture the emails of all attendees and send pre-show marketing messages to them.
However, we recommend that you capture the details of each individual visitor to your booth and not rely on a complete attendee record. Two different follow-up email campaigns should be sent for those who did not attend the show and those you did.
