When business is slow and ’financial’ belts are tightened, marketing is usually the first area to suffer. Upon closer investigation you may find that this really is a case of ‘cutting off your nose to spite your face’. By delaying work on that new website, or not getting that new company brochure printed you may be doing more harm than good!
Rather than withdraw from the ’scene’, now may be the time to ‘get out there’ and promote your business. When times are hard businesses shop around more, they look for value added services, they look for products or services that improve their productivity, they may be looking for you! If you are not there being seen in the right places, making your presence known and keeping in touch, before you know it the customers you have already may be gone!
When considering how to market and who to market to perhaps asking yourself a few key questions may highlight where you lack the right tools to do the job. [..more..]

The word ‘website’ immediately brings to mind on-line shops (e-commerce trading) or information websites (brochure style sites), but what if your business is not about selling in the traditional sense? What if you are a consultant, an agent or a designer? What if your company offers a less tangible service than selling a ‘widget’?
If your ‘business’ is looking after ’customers’, educating them or providing a service to them then perhaps you need to re-look at what your website is offering. Ask yourself the following:
- what is the purpose of the site?
- what information or activity could encourage a repeat site visit?
- what do your clients expect to see?
- what can you offer on-line that you would normally do by telephone/fax /post?
- what do your clients think of your website?

The BBC news website is the source for this article once again. The word on the street is that your visitors are interested in ‘getting to the point’ and this trend looks likely to continue.
Statistics supplied by usability guru Jakob Nielson indicate that visitors are becoming less patient (we already know about the 3 click mantra!). Figures for 2008 demonstrate that only 25% of visitors arrive at the home page and then drill down into the site (as opposed to 60% in 2004). Visitors are accessing sites at the point of ‘deep links’ as a result of ’searches’ as they become more search savvy.
So what does that mean to the potential business website owner?

As a developer of e-commerce websites (on-line shops) IT for Business Ltd (IT4B) is well aware of the potential for businesses wishing to trade on-line. This potential has been further highlighted by depleted retail figures for high street trading over the Easter period. The poor weather played it’s part but as sales declined due to lack of footfall in the shops Internet stores have experienced sales of £850million (ref SpringFair.com news)
The Spring Fair www.springfair.com is one of the highlights of the year for companies looking for new products to sell and sets the trends for the seasons ahead. With regular features and news from the high street it is a focal point for businesses wanting to keep in touch with what’s hot in the world of retail.
While the news of poor sales on the high street is not helpful for the economy, the encouraging sales figures from Internet trading mean that spending has not come to a standstill. Companies wishing to embrace the Internet as a means of selling goods and services are able to make the most of this growth sector provided they have the right tools for the job, namely a well designed website and the right visibility (getting found in search listings)
