“What has Internet Marketing got to do with my business ? I run a coffee shop (restaurant, dental practice, charity shop, garage … whatever) on the High Street !”
We believe that almost every business should be marketing on the internet, especially small real world, bricks-and-mortar businesses like those on the High Street.
Why ? Because like it or not, more and more people are spending time on the web.
- They “chat” and gossip
- They ask for advice
- Look for buying information
- Share their buying experiences
- Make recommendations
They “live” on the web. (Increasingly using mobile devices !) Be it Facebook, Twitter or just by swapping emails, people use the web to get, give and exchange information.
And that includes information about your products, your services, how good (or how bad) they are, what they like about them, what they dislike.
You have a right to dismiss it out of hand because you call yourself “old fashioned” or a real person, not some virtual “friend” ! BUT …
Whether you like it or not, your customers are talking about your business online as well as in the bus queue !
Social Media Expert Tina Williams says “Build a community around your business and your community will build your business around you !”
