IT’S NOT JUST<br />

MARKETING -<br />

IT’S PERSONAL<br />

<strong>BUS</strong>INESS <strong>SUP</strong>PLEMENT<br />

There are over 1 billion websites<br />

on the world wide web today, the<br />

majority of your competitors have<br />

websites, most have social media<br />

accounts too. So, how do you convince<br />

your potential customers that<br />

you are the best in the business before<br />

you have even spoken to them?<br />

I have always put a lot of emphasis<br />

into creating a truly personal<br />

online experience and really making<br />

your potential clients understand<br />

that you are real people doing a real<br />

job and not just a website that may<br />

be here today and gone tomorrow,<br />

this is more important to most consumers<br />

than you think. Trust is one<br />

of the biggest factors in online marketing<br />

and I’ve written a few tips on<br />

how you can use the tools available<br />

to develop trust within your target<br />

market.<br />

Create a professional and most<br />

importantly unique online experience,<br />

look at what your competitors<br />

are doing but also at what they are<br />

not doing and how you can present<br />

your product and services better<br />

than they do.<br />

Does your website answer the<br />

questions which users are asking?<br />

When someone arrives at your website<br />

primarily they want to know three<br />

things - ‘Do they do what I’m looking<br />

for?’ , ‘Can I afford it?’ & ‘Can I trust<br />

them?’ Make sure that you present<br />

your content clearly and it is obvious<br />

to users how they can take the next<br />

step - a website which doesn’t turn<br />

visitors into business is useless and<br />

a drain on your resources instead of<br />

an additional source of income.<br />

Ensure that everything works<br />

correctly, your website usability is<br />

the first impression of your company’s<br />

customer service levels. A<br />

broken website shows that you are<br />

not paying attention to your clients<br />

needs.<br />

Make your online space personal<br />

includes using real images of your<br />

team and your business, not stock<br />

images.<br />

Get testimonials from your customers,<br />

with photos and videos is<br />

best if possible. You can even sign<br />

up to a site like Tripadvisor or Trust<br />

Pilot which are independent review<br />

sites and can carry a lot of weight<br />

when people are preparing to make<br />

a purchase online.<br />

Introduce live chat into your site<br />

and helping your website visitors to<br />

move down the sales funnel by answering<br />

their questions and alleviating<br />

their concerns.<br />

Show personalised content to<br />

your users based on their previous<br />

visits to your website, location, device<br />

and much more.<br />

As online marketers we are no<br />

longer selling products or services,<br />

we are selling a customer experience.<br />

During these difficult economic<br />

times when less and less business<br />

is available we need to look at more<br />

ways to enrich the customer experience.<br />

Your potential customers could<br />

be comparing you to your competitors<br />

at any time and the worst thing<br />

is that you don’t even know it.<br />

By creating a professional and<br />

personalised website you can move<br />

one step ahead of the competition<br />

and keep more of the market share<br />

in your industry.<br />

remarketing campaign for your<br />

business and get 2019 off to a<br />
