IS YOUR BUSINESS PRESENTING ITSELF ONLINE IN A WAY THAT REPRESENTS YOUR VALUES AND QUALITY?
Most businesses don't take the time to build the strategy they need. We've created the 6 steps to totally transform your online business and drive real leads.
ONLINE PRESENCE & QUALITY
As we move more and more into the digital age, we can all see how essential it is for your business to have a strong and clear online presence. The quality needs to be of a high standard in order to get what you need from it.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a website, an eCommerce site, social media platform, or all of the above, if you get your online presence and the quality correct, being online will create massive benefits. Many people believe that because they do not sell a product or service online, that they do not need to be visible online, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Just because you do not sell or do business online, does not mean that potential customers are not going to look for you.
Did you know the majority of people will only use a company that they are able to find on social platforms? If you cannot be found online, can you imagine the potential opportunities you could be missing? This is also an amazing way to market and brand your company.
Let’s Look At Some Reasons As To Why Your Online Presence Is Vital To Your Business Growth And Success
A good online presence will make it easier for prospects to find you and approach you before they even learn your business name.
What is the first thing you do when you want to find your local pizza place? You search online, just like we do. It makes no difference whether someone is looking for your business name specifically or not, the key is to have your business appear when someone is looking for your service or products. Having a strong online presence will give you that edge over your competitors, and in a competitive market, we could all do with a bit of this.
Prospects will not make much of an effort to find you, and to be fair, why should they need to? All they are going to do is type into one of their search engines and the search should provide them with the information that they are looking for, straight away. If you want this to be you, you must ensure that your online presence is clear and is of good quality.
Let’s look at an example. You have just moved to a new area and are looking for a good café to eat at. You do not know any cafes so you type into Google ‘good cafes near me’. It is more than likely that you are going to check the first three on Google, have a look at the reviews and pick one of these. It is only if you are dissatisfied with the first 3 cafés displayed, that you will look at the café displayed in 4th position.
This is the point, you want to be one of the first businesses to appear, and then reappearing is not enough. You want to be easily found and then you want to meet the expectation of your viewer.
Having a strong online presence makes it much easier for you to showcase your services and products. It’s a great way to start telling your story prior to even speaking to someone, this ultimately starts building trust before you have even done anything.
Online communications and presence make it much easier to build a relationship with prospect, as well as your existing clients. Have you ever spoken to someone via email or on a social platform and formed a relationship as though you were best friends? Perhaps you recognise a company and have no clue why. This is the power of digital marketing.
A massive advantage of the internet is that you now have a platform to showcase everything that you offer. This could be in the form of your client testimonials, videos about yourself and your company, maybe even your portfolio.
Your online presence is basically your shop window which means it has to look the part in order to draw people in. It then has to have the right quality and functions to keep people on your platform. Remember, a decent online presence will continue to work, even when you are
sleeping.
Your social media and your website give your brand a voice, it also allows you to get to know your prospects and customers very well. Social media is actually one of the simplest and most effective ways to grow your business. It allows you to get people interested in your company and allows you to develop real relationships with real people.
Marketing can be a very costly exercise, how much cashflow do you have to waste? Your social media platforms and your website are one of the most effective marketing tools. They are also one of the cheapest methods to get in front of a very large audience, we are talking, thousands of people.
One of the most exciting things about online marketing is the opportunity it gives you to market your brand and your business story in exciting and creative ways. It allows you to test what people like and do not like. There is much competition, and with many businesses selling overseas, there is no business that is safe, so the last thing you want is to be left behind. When you are looking at investments for your business, you can be sure that your online presence is one of the most important ones that your business can make. The benefits of what you can do with a good online presence are endless.
As you can see, just this fact alone is a massive advantage and importance to a company of any size. Your online presence is the influential factor that will help your potential clients make a decision on whether to use your service or not. As mentioned earlier, many people will
disregard a company if they are not found online as the company will be seen to be too small and irrelevant. Are you trying to be an international company?
Speaking to people from the other side of the world can be hard, take it from a company that knows! However, what online marketing does is allows you to communicate directly with your international prospects, making it much easier to build that crucial relationship and trust. Apart from this, if your online presence is working the way it should be, then your international clients can purchase from you, or enquire whilst you are sleeping. This in theory is starting to create money while you sleep and build your brand more and more. first three on Google, have a look at the reviews and pick one of these. It is only if you are dissatisfied with the first 3 cafés displayed, that you will look at the café displayed in 4th position. This is the point, you want to be one of the first businesses to appear, and then reappearing is not enough. You want to be easily found and then you want to meet the expectation of your viewer.

THE ED YOU
At Englander Digital we are more than your average digital marketing agency. I could sit and tell you all about who I am and where I come from and all the business experience I have had and, how I can for sure triple your sales with my digital marketing. I would be able to tell you I have the best team in the world and our formulas are not like anyone else’s. I would be able to tell you all about the things you can do right now to change your sales machine, and how you have everything you need at this moment to make your business everything you want it to be.
But that is a lot of “I Should be”, so instead we wanted to tell you what we stand for as a company. Many companies will tell you a story that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster, a bit like how I started in business at the age of 15, got laughed out of boardrooms and did not have enough money to pay my own rent, close to being on the street I picked myself up again… emotional yet? Most digital marketing agents will have something clever or funny to say or bigger still both! Some companies actually pick their business name to attract you in “Hotdogs For sale” even when they “Sell Shoes”. The aim being to grab you in and then charge your credit card. Oh, and many marketing companies will tell you they can get you results, let me guess, you paid for something and did not get what you were promised? Shocker!
The world of digital marketing, but here it comes you know what’s next. Englander Digital is not like that, boring, I know. How many times are you going to hear that? Well here is a surprise for you, I/we are not going to give you the speech, you have heard it.
