SEO – Simple business strategies.

Getting yourself and your product known is an important step towards achieving  sales. Creating a beautiful website will not generate traffic and sales on its own, you have to promote your site and get it into search engines.
The text within you site is the key towards sales. You have to use sentences and words that fully describe your product and market you are active in. By targeting your market audience through these detailed keywords you can create a dynamic SEO campaign. Use off site SEO strategies. Use non-paid link building techniques to increase your website’s perceived market relevance within your outlined market sector – get your website mentioned on social networking sites and trade directories.
Create a site map. Sitemap protocols allow a webmaster to inform search engines about URLs on a website that are available for crawling. A Sitemap is an XML file that lists the URLs for a site and helps to show how important each page is in relation to other URLs in the web site. This allows search engines to crawl the site more intelligently and efficiently.

Business visibility

Do you have a visible business? What are you doing to get your company noticed? Most of us tinker and mess about with our code, search words and tags, in the hopes of growing our internet business. Most people seem to fail to understand how the Internet works; through a lack of fundamental understanding of how to get the most out of their blogs and websites (quitting when they fail to make a fast buck).

Having an environmentally-friendly site is a great accomplishment and a great selling point. Let your site visitors know your site has gone green by letting us build you a low carbon web site.

Merchandising = promotion

Merchandising to promote your brand in many businesses is an intermittent activity. It is often the area of retail compromise – time, budget, space or even creative flair can put the brakes on a proven marketing exercise. Simple solution should increase your sales and allow your existing staff to concentrate on your precious customers.

Marketing also applies to online business activities –  Marketing is the art of selling things. Getting things seen and viewed correctly is an important part of on line selling. Taking tips from the real world – retail shop displays and visualizing layouts of products and aisle layouts are the best ways to envisage an online shopping experience. Optimizing visual layouts is a key to success, the words wrapped around the images help to describe the virtual product to the viewer in the real world.
