Blogs
How can you turn your customers into raving fans who will spread referrals like wildfire?
More and more, blogs are becoming a way for people to communicate daily across chronological and geographical barriers. Anybody can write one, and many people writing blogs right now lack the advantage that you have – they are not experts in their own industry! With daily posts, you can:
- Establish yourself as an authority in your field.
- Educate current and potential customers about your business and industry.
- Build rapport and community with and among your customers.
- Generate feedback and even gather new ideas as customers post on the forum.
- Work with other bloggers and websites to publish articles from your blog and put out links back to your blog and website.
- Help search engines to rank your website higher as the blog attracts more repeat web traffic and puts out updated keyword-rich content.
Viral marketing…people love it!
Once a percentage of your customers are subscribing to and participating in your blog, they will bring other potential customers to your blog through digital word-of-mouth, and you will begin to build relationships with and eventually make sales to people who trust you.

Over 70% of the U.S. population regularly uses the Internet. Investment in a website serves to effectively enlarge your potential customer base, ultimately allowing you to reach new markets and increasing your profits.
A website can serve as a central location for current and potential customers to get information about your hours of operation, the cost of your products/services, any current specials you are running, your updated inventory, and any other information you want immediately accessible.
Using your website, you can make changes in your hours, specials, prices, etc., available to the public immediately rather than having to wait (or pay) for new printed materials. These changes are free and instantaneous.
You can showcase examples of your work and customer testimonials on your website and even set up an e-commerce function to allow customers to purchase and pay for your products and services directly online.
Visitors to your website can leave anonymous feedback that you can use to improve your business and make it even more profitable in the future.
You can use your website to create a personable, approachable front page for your business and build stronger relationships with customers through newsletters, forums, and blogs, even if they do not live in your area. Keeping loyal and repeat customers is less expensive than attracting new ones.
Having a dynamic and interesting website is one of the best ways to stay ahead of your competition. If even one of your competitors has a website, and in this day and age, most of them probably do, then they are continuously drawing potential customers away from you and into their own open arms if you do not make the most of your online presence.
A website, especially an e-commerce website, allows you to be in business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Potential customers can reach out to you anytime.
Advertising online is more cost-effective than advertising in print once you take into consideration the number of people you are reaching daily and the reduced papers costs. Also, internet marketing is green!
