It’s pretty common knowledge these days that businesses need to take advantage of internet marketing. Traditional methods might work, but the fact that so many people use the internet and interact with businesses on it makes it a huge untapped resource for those who aren’t already taking advantage of it. Marketing your company using the internet can be a really effective way of doing it but only if it’s done right, so if you don’t know what you’re doing you should hire an internet marketing firm.
One of the most essential parts of internet marketing is to have a well designed and dynamic website. Simply having a website is not enough, because if it is visually unappealing or hard to use, it takes a potential customer about two clicks to find your competitor’s superior website. In addition to being user friendly and aesthetically pleasing, your website should feature a few different types of media to better interact with your potential customer and make your website more interesting.
One good feature on a website is an active blog. This is a place for you to offer expert advice, interact with customers by answering questions in the comments, and offer your opinion on relevant news. A company that updates their blog at least 15 times a month gets about five times more traffic on their website than companies that don’t.
You should also post videos on your website. You might showcase a product or service or just tell potential customers a little bit more about yourself and your company in a personal way. Websites that have videos on them are 50% more likely to get a high ranking in search engine results.
If you aren’t a web designer, blogger, or videographer, you might want to hire a web design and marketing agency to take care of these things for you. You could take web design courses online, but that will just take time away from your business that you might not be able to spare. A design and marketing agency will know how to market your business, so if you don’t want to take the time or make the effort, you may want to hire one.
