How To Get Your Business Noticed!

'Shop Fronts'One day my elderly mother decided she wanted a haircut at the newly opened local hairdresser. So I got on the internet to find their business and contact details and operating hours.  But guess what?….. I couldn’t find them anywhere online. Now, I know they have a shop location as I had passed it just the day before. It appeared that they weren’t even listed in the phone book. Wow! Imagine the amount of business the hairdresser owner was missing out on.

Does Your Business Rely On Walk-In Customers?

If your business relies on walk-in customers such as a hairdresser, for example, it’s no excuse not to be online. Even if it was only to provide contact details and location and hours of operation details, it would be of great service to potential customers. If your business is not online then the likelihood that you are missing out on customers is high.

Factoring In Your Online Presence Is A No Brainer

I thought to myself that there must be a lot of storefront businesses who are just like this. Maybe these business owners are just starting out and haven’t yet gotten around to establishing themselves online yet, they might be cash-strapped or whatever the reason is.

Is Your Busines Missing Out?

The reality is that these businesses are missing out on …. well business! They are missing out on paying customers because the customer can’t find them online. Now I myself will always head online first to find a number of services I am looking for. It’s going to save me a whole lot of time.

An Online Presence Is Essential For Any Business

So when I couldn’t’ find the hairdresser online I thought that I would write an article about this, in the hope that businesses like this will have at least the most basic information needed to change this and get themselves online. Beyond this, having an online strategy for your business should be an INTEGRAL part of your business plan.

How to get your business known locally using Facebook

If you have a little cash to spare then taking ads out on Facebook can be a very cost-effective'Outdoor Market' way to reach your audience. These ads can be set to a specific region say your township for example if your business is localized. Say you have a SPECIAL for the month, and you write an article about the special on your website, you use this same article to create an ad in Facebook and point it to your specific audience and location using the facebook settings. Now you have an ad pointed to a Facebook audience, but also to a NON-facebook audience via your website. You could have old and new customers subscribe to your website and that way they will receive notices for any OFFERS you have. It might be a product discount!

  1. Have to admit I go to Google for everything today especially with my smart telephone; so easy to Google whatever you need. With voice activation you can simply just ask Google what you want to know and it pops right up. Any business that is not on Google is missing out on people that they can bring into their business at the push of a button as long as they have a website on Google and it does not have to be complicated at all; what most people wish to know is their telephone number, hours of business, walk-ins welcome, and if they have a website to browse. Without it just think of the lost revenue they are missing out on.
