You Don't Need A Website UNLESS...

You Don't Need A Website UNLESS...

Wait, did I just read that right, you’re asking?  A website designer saying you don’t need a website – something must be wrong.

Well, there are cases where a website is a waste of money.  First of all, if the goal of having a website is just to check off the appropriate box on your business plan, you don’t need one.

You don’t need a website just because your brother in law, the unemployed college drop out says so.

You don’t need a website if you think a website is the new yellow pages and everybody looks there.

The bottom line is, you don’t need a website if you not committed to making it the important marketing vehicle it should be.  So where do you start?

During the last 10 years, I have seen the evolution of websites, from simple 3 page sites with a waving cactus graphic, to multi-media sites with intricate flash graphics, to the mobile web we see on our phones.  Search engine optimization has been the buzz word for the last several years.  And it remains a critical element of your website.

But in today’s internet landscape, SEO is only a piece of the puzzle.  Does your website content call browsers to take action?  How are you building your brand?  Are you the expert in your industry?

In the coming blog posts, I will discuss online marketing and how to create a comprehensive program to get maximum exposure.

High Tech vs. The Personal Touch

   Posted by: Happenings at 800biz    in Uncategorized

We send and receive emails by the dozens in a day.  Text messages fly through the airwaves with the greatest of ease.  It takes only a few minutes to send a email or text message.  So we think we are doing so well when we communicate with our customers that way.  Or even better, we let our customers know how much we appreciate them with an email or fax.  Now that’s personal!

But when it comes to appreciation and building solid relationships, progress is not always a good thing.  How many emails did you delete today?  How many voice mails did you erase?  If you want to truly be remembered for your thoughtfulness, mail a personalized greeting card.  Statistics from the US Postal Service says that less than 30% of the people expect to get anything personal in their mail.  So imagine how impressive it will be when they receive a greeting card from you.  And if the card has their picture on it, that card is never going to get thrown out.  It will stay on their refrigerator or desk, reminding them of you every time they look at it.

If you would like the ability to create personal greeting cards using your own photos, handwriting and signature, contact me for a free test drive.
