Your website is your storefront

store2 When you want to find something, you Google it right? You don’t pick up the Yellow Pages.

So, if the first impression for your business is your website, how does it look?
Here are some questions to get you thinking:

  • Is your store hard to find? How does your site rank in search?
  • What is the first impression? Simple or cluttered?
  • What draws people in? Do you have good content that calls people to action or helps them look around?
  • If someone stops, what are they looking at? Is it easy to navigate? Can they contact you easily?
  • What about after they leave? Will they remember your site? Why?

If you want your store (site) to stand out, it might take some work. It does not have to cost a fortune, but it should be intentional.

  • Great points here, Tim. If your website is your online storefront, then each blog post you create is like another brick in the wall. And yet, many folks don't get the point/value of blogging. Odd, huh?
  • Good analogy. A blog is also like window shopping. A potential customer can browse at a variety of conversations. I think for some it is letting go of control. Interesting...
