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 />
