Understand your customers' purchase journey
We all know that marketing your product online is vital for a product based small business. In 2013, 72% of all adults bought goods or services online, up from 53% in 20081. The number of people who buy online in 2016 is set to be even higher. The challenge for you as a small business comes when trying to decide the most effective online channels to spend your time and marketing budget on. This is when it helps to understand your customer’s purchase journey. Armed with this knowledge you can then plan your sales strategy intelligently.
Could your business be missing out on online leads and sales? As many as 2 million sole traders and small businesses are missing out on £1.5 billion of cyber weekend sales due to their lack of online presence, according to the Dept of Business, Innovation & Skills. From their research they also found more than half of customers (55%) say they find it hard to support local businesses when they cannot find them online.
Here’s how Search Engine Optimisation and Social Media can play it’s part
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and Social Media can play an integral part in getting more people from your customer base to visit your website. This in turn will help to meet the business objective of the site, such as generating more enquiries or raising public awareness of a cause or issue. SEO is about optimising your website in the eyes of search engines, particularly Google (which in the UK owns approx. 91% of the search engine market). This ensures your site appears higher up the listings in search engine results.
