Grow More With The Web
The Web is a great tool! It's flexible, scalable, affordable and a better lead generator than most forms of marketing.
For example, yellow page ads are just that - yellow, square, not very useful. Sure, they generate calls - but generally they are used by people looking for the cheapest item of whatever it is your offering.
The first thing out of a callers mouth is "What do you charge for....". Thats not inherently bad, and I'm not saying you should not advertise in the yellow directories - just be aware that they have become a tool for consumers to find the cheapest "X" available.
With the Web, you are able to provide as much content as you want - in whatever colors you want, even whatever shape you want, you can track presicely how many people saw your website (do the yellow directories provide that? NO!) You provide the best possible opportunity to make a sale or generate a lead with the web.
We recommend to all of our clients that they maintain most of their ads - just enhance them by putting their web address in the ad. Then you truely have the best of both worlds.
Put your website address on your business cards, flyers, brochures, yellow page ads, email signatures, even voicemail recordings - let everyone know that you have a website and that they should visit it.
