Start a New Business

As we go into 2010, full of promise and change from 2009, it is time to think about economical ways to market your business in the coming year. In this internet, social media age, the old marketing plans can no longer be copied into the the new plans. Here are our top ten things I suggest that you do:

1. Update your Website – Your website is no longer a brochure for the company. The internet search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo have changed the rules. Your website needs to be searchable, it needs to have outside links refer to its content and it needs to be changed very frequently. If you have not had a major overhaul of your site in the last 5 years, its time to invest in a total makeover. Even if you do not make any major changes, the site needs to be editable by the Marketing Department or the owner. There needs to be a system of updating and changing the site on a weekly or monthly basis and having an easy to use edit tool accessible to the marketing people is a must. As discussed in the next item, the use of keywords is also essential for the search engine.

Hi, my name is Justin Warner. I have been in Vemma for several months now and I have been trying very hard to grow my Vemma business. I have grown up in the network marketing idea all my life, and I have seen a lot of people fail (including my parents). I have tried every way possible to grow a network marketing business and have done exactly what my up line told me to do. I have found out over the years in different mlms that they all basically teach you the same things– ie… hold nightly meetings, pass out business cards, dvds, and brochures, write a list of 100 friends and family, talk with every person that comes within three feet of you, and when you do all this you will become very rich in a short amount of time–Right?  Wrong!

As a business starts to develop and spread their wings to take off, one of the first advertising steps they should consider is getting a small business website. The internet yields a vast abundance of open opportunities, and although not every small business owner is necessarily interested in growing their business into a nationwide corporate conglomerate, the door still swings open at the chance of local community connection and customer relationship development when you have a website for your company.

A business owner, no matter the size of his or her business, is of course interested in attracting clients and staying connected within the community. There is little to none, when it comes to business owners, that don’t meet the terms of that last statement, and while some business owners seek higher profits, more growth, and larger business development, there are some entrepreneurs and owners that would rather live in content and happiness with a small, local establishment. The former is more complex, expansive, and exciting, while the latter remains simple, smooth, and enjoyable. Whichever your ambitions are as a small business owner, owning an attractive and professional website is equally beneficial to your desire.

Full color looks great, but it does cost more, and some businesses just don’t need a full color card to stand out and look professional.
