Time to Get Your Business Online!

There Has Never Been a Better Time to Get Your Business Online Than Right Now!

Traditional Bricks and mortar businesses are facing tough times. It seems every time you turn on the news or open the papers there’s news of another retailing giant going into receivership or closing its doors. And the ones that aren’t are cutting back expenses where ever they can.

So what makes this one of the best times to get your business online? Well consider this…

As businesses tighten their belts and cut back on expenses one major area they’re cutting back on is advertising, which means there’s much less advertising noise for the consumer (and less competition for you).

Now it’s not just the retailers cutting back on expenses, consumers are too, counting each dollar and cutting back on needless expenses where ever possible, which means less trips to the shopping centres.

With Petrol prices hovering around the $1 mark consumers are trying to keep costs to a minimum so they’re going online for more and more of their shopping needs.

Not only does this save them travel expenses and time but it also makes them feel as though they’re changing their spending habits, doing more research BEFORE they make their buying decision which makes them feel good about themselves – and for good reason…

1. Internet shops are perceived to have lower prices on goods then bricks and mortar businesses
2. They don’t have to spend hours driving from store to store comparing prices – they can compare prices at 10 different stores in a matter of minutes
3. They can cut back on petrol expenses by shopping from the comfort of their own home.
4. Its much easier to research and review a large range of products and retailers on the internet. Consumers don’t want to be bombarded with the endless sales pitches from commission sales people who are desperately trying to sell them the highest value items possible just so they can get paid for the week!

The goods new is that when they’re online researching for the best deals, they inevitably end up making their purchases online – and recent economic figures support this. A recent report on ABC news stated that while retail giants where closing their doors, online businesses have experienced ongoing growth in sales.

All this means great online business opportunities for you and your business – if you’ve setup your online business system correctly all this so called bad news will turn to sales.

So what can YOU do you do with all this?

1. Develop a complete online business and marketing strategy
2. Make sure you have a strong online presence
3. Position yourself so that your prospective customers will find you when they go online to research
4. Create a provide content that answers their questions
5. Have a strong marketing system that captures your prospects details, builds the relationship and most importantly gets the sale!
