Are You Hiding From Your Customers?

Smart Phone Customer

Small business owners in todays economy are hiding from their potential customers in plain view. They have a storefront with lots of traffic all around and no foot traffic.

The product or service you offer is the best within twenty miles. You always treat your customers right, after all they are the life blood of your business. You need to find a way to get them to stop in and check you out.

This is how customers will find you in 2011 and beyond....

You need to advertise. If you don’t your business will fail. Small business advertising has changed with the internet. Just last week I read that Dex is now moving its yellow pages online and will slowly move to a no print version.

If you haven’t started building an online presence, you need to for your business to survive. There is a revolution happening right now. Bigger than the internet. It is cell phones, smart phones to be precise. Here is my post on how to get started for free http:/mediamagnet.net/create-and-build-2-google-places

Can your potential customers find you online? You have what they want and desire. They just can’t find you. Once you have a presence you can develop a relationship with potential customers if you know how.

People are out and about with their phones looking for the product you offer. They are looking at their phones and not around them. They search for what the want nearby. Read the customer reviews and text their friends to meet them there or tell them where they are going.

How local business can do the exact same thing.

Facebook Viral

This tells everyone they know what they are doing and why. This is the beginning of word of mouth advertising. You need to be online to participate. If your business is not growing and you are doing everything the same is the problem.

Create and Build 2 – Google Places

Google Places is a Mobile Friendly Platform

You need to establish your places page today! The first thing you want to do is locate your business on google maps.

This will mark out your location for google to find your business. Then when someone is in your area looking for your product you will pop up.

You do not want to claim your page until you have mapped it. It will take Google about two weeks to call and confirm your place page.

Once that happens. You can go ahead and start to optimize you places page. It will give your business your very own website.

You want it to get your potential customer to do one thing. You can have that be call you. You can put a coupon on the page for them to come and try your product.

Keep it simple.. Do not try to tell them everything about your product or service here. The places page is designed for the smartphone owner to find what they are looking for at any given moment.

When the page is optimized it will have links to your website or blog. You can upload video and pictures here to catch peoples eye.

Just remember that once the page is there it is the key to people finding your business. By making sure that it is optimized on maps they will find you.

You then have the ability to have them call you. Offer a discount or visit your website for more information. This is the new phone book on steroids.

This is how customers will find you in 2011 and beyond....

Most of us think when something doesn’t cost us anything it has no value. With google places think again my friend.

Optimizing your places page will take time and effort on your part. You do not need a website to be found online by potential customers. You do need a places page.

Step one Create and Build – example car buying online

Local Business needs to know that mobile will become more and more important over the next year. Just ask Google. They are betting on it with google places.

They have conducted extensive research and this is what the survey showed.

I have my research in hand I will have it down to about three cars that are possibilities. Start with a google search for the year make and model for the car you are interested in.

I have checked kelly blue book and know the value of the car. I know if their are any recalls for the car.
I know what I need to know to make a sound buying decision.

When Customers are looking for a product or service

Most business owners do not realize because of the downward turn in the economy that they are wasting their money on yellow page advertising.

Owners think that the lack of phone calls and new customers is the economy. Wrong! Customers cannot find you. They are not looking in the yellow pages.

The two most important places for your business to be are on Google places and Facebook. Listing your business here is free.

Both Google and Facebook are mobile friendly. This will put your business in front of your competition. Remember when we used to believe that no one would ever shop online?
