"Did You Think About Cleaning Your House?"
In order for your website to be most effective, you better make
sure the website is ready for visitors - just like you would for
company that comes to visit your home. Unfortunately, as I do
consulting with services businesses I am still seeing that
they spend very little time and effort on preparing
their web site for visitors.
If you neglect your website, you are neglecting an incredible
source of new business. Would you print a phone number in the
Yellow Pages and have a 9 year old answer calls? I know that
sounds ridiculous, but it's what many professionals are doing
with their websites. They are doing the design themselves or
sourcing it out to someone that has no concept of direct marketing.
I see sites that feature things like
- Company names in an oversized font that takes up the top 25% of the screen
- Company logos that must be on steroids
- Endless lists of license numbers and associations
- Pictures of things having nothign to do with what you do
- Boring tag lines like "family owned" and "doing business since"
- "Flash" sites that whiz and bang and scream and never end
Folks. this month, I want you to take action and get serious about
your web site. Your business is riding on it, and it's time that
it starts paying you.
This month's lesson is to simply wake you up and alter your
mindset.
Think, "My Website Is An Advertisement".
Huh?
Yeah, it is. Your website is nothing more than an Ad.
Think about it, what does an ad do? It generates business for you.
I want you to start thinking, "My website is there to make me
money". Your website is not a brochure. Your website is not for
people to get free advice from you. Your website is a money making
machine, just like you expect all your other ads to be. Therefore,
treat your website for what is truly is, an advertising medium -
like TV, Radio, Print, Yellow Pages, or Direct Mail.
Therefore we ought to spend time making sure our web site sells
our services first and foremost, and we no longer follow the crowd
of service providers who have run-of-the-mill boring web sites that
do nothing more but gather dust along the information superhighway.
Your web site will be a cash register that puts new clients in your
appointment book!
In the coming months, I am going to teach you how to provide a
service to your visitors. I will share techniques that make sure
you give them what they want, so they not only stay on your web
site longer, but they will take action - whatever action you want
them to take - and they will be happy to take that action because
you gave them what they were looking for.
Next month I expect to talk to you about the first couple things you
must have on your on website to increase the chances of the visitor
taking a desired action on your website.
