Your business image and reputation has taken you a long time and a
lot of effort to build up, so don't ruin it. Don't just dabble because
you have to. Like it or lump it the internet is here to stay and you
either embrace it or lose out! Every day I come across businesses who
have an online presence because they decide they have to but they don't
want to chuck any money or time at it so what do they do? They give the
most powerful marketing tool they will ever have to the office junior,
the yts lad (don't think they call it that now) or even their teenage
son or daughter. "Here sort that".
When I talk to them about how
they can make more connections or get more work from social media or
even a website, the answer is.."tried that, doesn't work".
Would
you give the same person responsibility for designing the advert in the
paper that you still run every week? Would you give then the job of
designing your Yellow Pages advert? (Yes people still use them)
Think
about what you could get from using online tools like social media
platforms and websites, think about who you can get to.....It's not just
kids on Facebook now you know it's silver surfers all the way so when
you say...."my customers aren't on there"...no they are someone else's
customers now but they could have been yours!
