Sep 5th
1. Establish yourself as a trusted expert. People search online for information and will look to you to provide it to them. Every week (or whatever schedule you determine) provides an opportunity to build on this, while reinforcing your brand.
2. Build a relationship with your list. It’s common knowledge that people like to buy from people they like. By using ezines to connect with readers in their homes, you can develop a relationship of familiarity and trust. Be sure to share a little about yourself or your company in every issue, whether it be an anecdote, event, or employee spotlight.
3. Keep in touch with prospects and clients. Consideration should be given to eventually developing two ezines: one for prospects and one for clients, as each require different information. This is a great way to remind your readers of weekly specials, updates to your FAQs, or new and improved products you will be launching, in addition to articles of interest. More >
Top 10 Reasons to Have a Website
Sep 5th
Has the thought of owning your own web site ever crossed your mind? Whether you own a bricks-and-mortar business, want to turn a hobby into an income, or anywhere in between, a web site is an easy and inexpensive way to get the word out about your business.
Below are the Top 10 reasons people should consider owning a web site:
1. Conduct Business 24/ 7/ 365. Imagine your website as your cyber-employee, presenting your goods, answering questions, and taking payments 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year! This employee never quits, doesn’t complain, and doesn’t require a weekly paycheck.
Not only can you conduct business at any time, but your web site provides a unique way to grow your sales revenues. At no additional cost, you can promote a weekly or daily special, post a menu item of the day, or offer a coupon code for that day’s purchases only.
Make it easy for your customers to shop with you again and again. If you have a local store or office, be sure to provide a sign-up sheet or other means of gathering your customers’ email addresses, so you can contact them through email marketing as well as your web site.
And did you realize that your around-the-clock online business lets you find customers from anywhere in the world? You’re no longer restricted to your own neighborhood or time zone. Whether your product or service is delivered electronically or shipped conventionally, your website can explode into new markets while you sleep! More >
