5 Reasons Small Businesses Need a Website


     Statistics by Google indicate that more than half of America’s small businesses don’t have a business website.  In some states, in fact, almost 70 percent of small businesses are not online.  These businesses are losing opportunities to market their business as well as to interact and educate consumers on their product or service.  If you haven’t made the leap to build a website for your business, here are 5 reasons you should get your small business website up and running.   

1) A website is a long-term marketing piece.  A website has many purposes.  One of which is to act as an online brochure that presents the business to consumers.  Unlike print pieces such as printed brochures or direct mail pieces which are frequently received and thrown away, a website stays online, drawing traffic for as long as it’s up.

2)  Building a website is a good investment. Like all things, you can spend as much or as little as you want on getting a website up and running.  Unlike print pieces, it can easily be updated and changed.   You can announce special offers, sales, and more without having to pay for print and mail costs. 

3) Your competition has a website.  If about half of small businesses don’t have a website, that means that about half of them do.  Do some research.  Is your competition online?  If they are, then they are drawing traffic and customers that you are not getting.  Customers are finding them instead of you.  That can’t be good for your bottom line. 

4) Your customers are searching online. If your business isn’t online, then these customers can’t find you and can’t do business with you.  If you’ve been using the excuse that you’re a local business so having an online presence isn’t important, think again.  One study found that ninety-seven percent of consumers search online for local products and services. 

5) A website has multiple uses.  This makes it an even better investment.  There are many things you can do with a website beyond information about your products, services and company.   You can collect e-mail addresses and use that list to send newsletters, update customers about changes and special offers.  You can also sell your goods through your website.  Or, if your business is more about services, you can use your website to book appointments with consumers and to get feedback from them.  

     If you don’t have a website for your small business, what are you waiting for?  It’s time to build your website and build your future business marketing strategy.

Hiring a Freelance Writers Saves Small Businesses Money


     Freelance writer Phyllis Edson announced today that hiring a freelance writer to write and manage online content can save small business owners money. 
     “Too many small business owners try to do everything themselves to save money,” said Edson.  “However, contracting out services such as freelance writing services saves them money in the long run,” she said. 
     By contracting out services for which they do not need a full-time employee,  such as writing web content, press releases, blogs and posts for social media sites, the owner can save money in salaries and benefits that he would normally have to pay a full-time employee. 
     Furthermore, by contracting out for writing services, the business owner is contracting out someone who’s trained to write and write well.   Hiring a freelance writer who’s knowledgeable about copy writing and web writing will ensure a better marketing strategy than if this work is just handed to whichever staff member has time to do it. 
      “Professional freelance writers are trained in what they do,” said Edson.  “They know how to write copy that will bring visitors to your website and potential customers to your door,” she said. 
     Edson pointed out that well-trained freelance writers do more than just write the copy.   Professional freelance writers will provide the client with meta-data for web copy, will research and include keywords to get the attention of the search engines and research what the business’ competition is doing.  “There’s more to writing than just putting sentences together,” she said. 
     Edson said that business owners should shop for freelance writers.  Once they narrow down their options they should request writing samples and ask for references.  “Professional writers won’t hesitate to give this information.  They may even offer it,” she said. 
     Edson has 20 years of writing experience. Her services include press releases, copy writing, e-mail marketing, blogging, posts for social media sites and more.  For each client, she says, she provides professionally written, well-researched products that satisfy the needs of the individual client and appeal to that client's audience.

“Through this offer, business owners can fill their blogs and website with information related to the holidays or the changing season. It’s an excellent way to boost online content without breaking the bank,” she said. 
Edson added that it makes sense for business owners to outsource content writing, especially during busy seasons such as the holidays. 
Business owners busy preparing for one of the busiest seasons of the year.  How can they possibly find time to sit and write content for their websites or blogs?  It makes sense to outsource this work to someone who knows how to do it and understands keyword research and meta-data.
