log/ The internet is the place that can make you
or break you. You need to be inventive when you
have a small business and potentially no
advertisement budget. Also, as a consumer,
looking for a service, many people naturally
Google Search what they need and then look at the
site top listings. If the site is slow loading
or not very appealing, then many will move on
because that is the first impression they
received. Put your best foot forward and create a
site that will have customers flocking by taking
some of these tips below.

Be Memorable The first part of your page is the
title, the header, and the logo, and you want
them to be something that clients will gravitate
to and remember. It should be clean and effective
as well, letting them know who you are right off
the gate. I have seen many business logos where
I must guess what they do, sure if you have a
million- pound marketing budget then you could
call your company anything you like, and that
marketing spend will help to solidify what your
company does. But as a small business, you really
what to make it as easy as possible for website
visitors to understand what you do. If your
company has an unusual company name that may not
convey exactly what you do for business, then
simply add a clear and concise strapline to
ensure your potential customers understand what
you do. Navigation Should Be Easy All things
should be easily found on the site. If people
have to search for information through multiple
clicks and links, like doing a research project,
then they will probably head on over to a site
that makes it easy for them.

Make the most important information visible on
the first page and from there use a simple menu
with no more than eight options. Make sure the
links are easily understood and lead to where
they should. Newsletter Subscription One of your
goals should be to build a newsletter
subscription base. Sending out newsletters is
probably one of the most cost-effective internet
marketing tools. For example, Amazon SES service
costs only 0.10 per thousand emails sent. Your
goal is to give website visitors an incentive to
subscribe to your newsletter. Why not offer a
free e-book in return for a visitors newsletter
subscription or tell your visitors that if they
subscribe then you will send them a discount
code? Finally, don't make your newsletter
subscription a constant annoying pop up which
never goes away. Pop up newsletter subscription
prompt is OK but should be controlled on how many
times it displays over a period of a week for
each visitor to your website. Video, Blogs,
Vlogs Social Media Videos are one of the most
popular formats for engaging with existing and
new customers. You don't need a film studio and
expensive video editing equipment you simply
need to put your hand in your pockets and use the
full potential of your mobile smartphone. You
can film for free on your smartphone and download
an app from the app store to edit video
content. At DCP we understand the power of
sharing our knowledge using video-based content.
We have uploaded over 600 video tutorials to our
DCP YouTube channel and some videos have over
300,000 views! So that is a lot of exposure for
45mins work wouldn't you say? There are many
other social media platforms to get your business
exposure such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter,
Snapchat, Instagram to mention just a few. Do
your research and find out which are the most
popular social media platforms for your target
audience. For example, LinkedIn is great for
business-to-business sales and Instagram is good
for targeting a younger generation.

• Finally Make Sure People Know how to Contact You
• People are generally in a rush and you can
  understand that with the hectic lives we live.
  Some businesses do not display a mobile number on
  their websites, but I personally think that this
  is a good idea. I guess it depends on the type of
  business you run.
• Give your customers a choice in how they can
  contact you, here are some useful examples
• Landline number
• Mobile number
• Direct email
• Online contact form
• Online chat tool
• Social media messaging
• What's App chat
• Facebook chat
• Remember apart from the landline all the above
  can be managed from a single smartphone!
