I have had a chance to visit a great many local area websites in the last few days. Most are on the order of what I do myself, design wise. Not super fancy, but workable.
What I was not too surprised about is the lack of material and imagination, though. Most of the sites look like set em and forget em sites. Probably a little pricey to set up, and of little real value.
If you happen to have a local website, the question is...how many hits does it get? Do you know? Are you keeping up with it?
Second, how much money has your site made you? Has it paid for itself? Can it be found on search engines for the products or services you have, instead of just for the name of your business?
Advertising on the internet is not the end all and be all of advertising. Whereas newspaper and radio is "immediate" advertising, the net takes a little longer.
NOW is the time to get your business online for Christmas. The beauty of a page with GetCalhoun.com is that it is as good quality, and often better than what you already have. More, GetCalhoun.com gets lots of hits. More, it is a search engine magnet nearly guaranteeing that your page will be found by searching for products and services, rather than the name of your business only.
For example, how many people search for "Kathy's Cloth Barn" versus how many search for "cloth in anniston"...
Kathy's site is geared to be found with the former search, but not the latter. Kathy will be found with either on GetCalhoun.com and this is the difference.
One of the greatest challenges I have to overcome is folks who already have websites that produce low expectations. It DOES NOT have to be this way.
While GetCalhoun.com can't make folks search for your company, if they do, you WILL be found. So, whether or not you currently have a site, you should be on GetCalhoun.com. Every time we pick up a new client, it improves the prospects for all the clients. It's a unique website advertising model, and one you shouldn't be without.
