Marketing Tips for growing businesses

Do you Really need a New Website?

4/17/2017

Once again someone has asked when you are going to get a new website. You're definitely not excited about spending the time and resources it would take to get it done.
 
Do you really need to do it?  It's an important decision – in this digital age, your website is a critical part of your business’s success. It’s often the first—and in some cases the only—interaction customers have with your business.

Answering these questions might make your decision easier ...

​Is your site:
  1. A great representative of your brand?
  2. Fast loading and easy to navigate?
  3. Mobile friendly?
  4. Attracting needed traffic?
 

 Why are these important?
​
1) A great representative of your brand?  Because first impressions are important -- you should evaluate if the site makes the impression you'd like. Has your target market changed since you launched your site?  If you’re not sure, try asking recent customers or prospects what they think of your site.
 
2) Fast loading and easy to navigate? As companies grow, they often add pages to their websites. Adding pages that way can create a site that is difficult to navigate. Customers may become frustrated if loading is too slow or it takes too many clicks to get to their information.  You can check if this is a problem with
Google's free analysis.

​3) Mobile friendly – Mobile is becoming increasingly important. Over half of internet traffic now comes from a mobile device. If you love your site, it may be possible to transfer the content to a template that looks good on both a PC and mobile phone (responsive design) at a lower cost and effort than building a new site.
 

4) Attracting needed traffic?  Your website might be fine, but you can generate a higher ROI by enhancing the digital strategy that drives traffic to the site.  A digital strategy can include complementary components, like SEO organic traffic, Adwords and / or Bing Ads for paid traffic, content marketing and social media.

I want to focus on "Has your target market changed since you launched your site?" If you said it hasn't, are you sure? I have a bad habit of noticing it's changed about six months later than I should. Most recently, I overhauled everything this past month. And now that it's done, creating a new website was -- wait for it -- fun. I enjoyed it. Take the plunge. You might be surprised.

It is very important to do a very good research in the Marketing field, before starting a business.

I agree. You should research the market before starting a business -- using the information you find will help you be more successful. Please watch for my next blog on positioning statements.
