New website? Don’t overcomplicate it

Posted on March 8, 2017 at 2:51 pm

Many companies hold off on having a website or leave it in production for far too long and this can mean that they often miss out on enquiries and sales. After carrying out research, it seems that many companies try to include everything in the first phase of a website and this can cause massive delays. The beauty of the web is that changes can be live almost instantly and therefore there is no reason to hold back if you can go live with a decent site as it can be added to at a later date.

If you want to build in complicated functionality then you need to ask yourself how important it is to have that when the site first goes live. Would it be beneficial to get the site up and possibly start generating enquiries and then over time work on improving it and growing it? This is not only good for your business but can also help your rankings on the search engine such as Google who tend to favour sites that are constantly updating.

If you are struggling for content, then don’t let your site sit almost completed for months and months. Invest a bit of money on using a content writer who will be able to come and interview you and find out what you want to say and write the text to go on to your site.

Utilising your website space

Posted on January 27, 2017 at 8:45 pm

There is often disagreements when it comes to designing a website about how much “white space” you should have. There is a fine line between an informative website that utilises the space available and a website that is too busy and cluttered.

When deciding on what information to put on your website it is important to keep in mind what you are trying to achieve. If for example, you are wanting to sell a product then you will probably want to have images, descriptions, technical specs and dimensions and even videos to allow your visitors to see what the product does and how it looks.

If you are considering having ad space on your site, again you need to think about this carefully as too many adverts can put visitors off and make them leave your site very quickly.  Some white space around your website can actually be effective as it gives the appearance of a clear and clean website and many people favour this. Using colours that are too bold or bright can be another way to make your visitors make a sharp exit. Make sure that your pages are laid out clearly and that the navigation is easy to follow on any device it is viewed on to give your visitor the best experience.

How successful are mail drops in marketing

Posted on November 29, 2016 at 8:01 pm

With so many marketing options out there available it can be hard to know which would be most successful. Many companies opt for mail drop advertising where they send out generic advertising material either via post or email. The positive to doing this via email is that it is at no cost to the business and is a fast way of getting information out to the customer. These emails can also be personalised to some extent adding a name into the subject bar and first line of the email.

The downside to this is that sometimes due to mailbox filters these can end up in people’s junk boxes or can be ignored by the recipient if it’s thought to be spam. To avoid this you can add a relevant catchy subject to the email that entices the recipient to open the email and read on, maybe offering money off or a voucher as a promotion.

Some companies do report great results from mail drops so it’s just about taking the time to target your email to the correct audience and have the content relevant enough to lead to further enquires and ultimately a sale.  Promotions and competitions are often the biggest hits with mail drops so that is definitely worth a punt.

Is your website too busy?

Posted on September 28, 2016 at 9:20 pm

It is understandable that many businesses want to get as much information on their website as possible, but could it be that by doing so you are actually putting people off. Many studies carried out on the general public show that website that have too many adverts or too many moving parts or simply just too much information can be overwhelming and off putting. Many of these visitors will leave the site without even trying to look for what they came on to the site for.

A website should be easy to navigate round with information that is easily accessible when needed. For example, it may be that rather than filling up a page with technical specifications of a product, you add a quick link to download it or a “read more” button.

Take careful consideration to your home page which can have a massive first impact on a visitor. Do you really need the weather app on there? Or a scrolling news banner? All of this can be using up valuable space that may be better filled with something else.
