Business Tips from The Webmaster!

Question: What is the most important thing concerning my site ?
Answer: To capture the attention of your intended viewers immediately so they will feel invited to explore the rest of your site.

Question: I see a lot of sites that have lots of pictures and icons that are animated. Are these a good thing or bad?
Answer: Having a lot of pictures, icons and/or animated icons is normally not a good thing. The more of these you put on your site the longer it takes to load on a person's computer. A few well placed pictures and/or icons look nice, and lets face it, the internet is a very visual medium. You will notice that we have some on our pages, however only a few so that it will load and get the message to our customers quickly! Remember, a lot of people are still out there running with slower machines. What takes 3 seconds to load on a fast system could take 15 seconds or more on a slower system. They note that now most people will only wait for 10 seconds....and then move on.

OLD SCHOOL MARKETING TIPS FOR A NEW WORLD:
      Cyberspace is the newest and most exciting business frontier in our galaxy, but tried-and-true marketing pratices remain the surest to selling your services online.

Review these following quidelines for your business:

• Develop a business plan. Take the time to write a business plan that answers the following questions: who are your target clients, and why should they retain your services and not your competitor's? If you don't know your market, how will you know how to reach them?
• Create a budget. It's true: you have to spend money to make money. Knowing how much you need (and how much you have!) will help focus your marketing strategy.
• Maintain a database of clients. Your clients are the lifeblood of your business. An updated database will allow you to keep in touch with them efficiently -- and regularly.
• Track every sale. Where did they hear about you? How much did they spend? This invaluable information will point you towards a more intelligent sales strategy.
• Keep the pipeline full. Your marketing efforts shouldn't stop simply because you've secured some short-term business. Plan ahead and maintain a consistent marketing strategy -- and your business (and cash flow) will remain steady throughout fluctuating market condidtions.
• Ask for referrals and testimonials. Your current clients are your most effective salespeople. Publish their testimonials on your site, and regularly request referrals for new business.
• Treat your clients well. They're all you've got. Don't take them for granted.
• Study marketing techniques. No matter what service you provide you're also a salesperson. Become a student of marketing and regularly re-evaluate and refine your sales techniques.
