Web design is all about driving traffic, without traffic to a site no e-commerce or brand awareness can occur. So your biggest concern when advertising on the web or designing a web site is how you are going to drive traffic to specific pages within your web site. Obviously some form of online advertising is suggested, but there are so many options out there that this can get overwhelming. When you add in the industry terms like PPC (Pay per Click), SEO (Search Engine Optimization), CMS (Content Management System), etc. it just becomes a blur of acronyms and Internet babble.

CGR Creative's Web Design Advertising Tips

1 Update and maintain your website in every way possible using blogs, social media, online articles, etc. Basically branding yourself within your market.

2 Contribute to any and all reputable online forums, groups, or associations within your market. Many of these exist online and it is therefore easy to maintain a more constant presence than with traditional groups.

3 Always collect the name and email addresses of visitors to your business, trade shows, or your web site. Send these contacts relevant updates and a company newsletter.

4 Make sure your site and other marketing efforts provide honest and useful information so that your clients begin to view your company as a resource.

5 Write reviews on products and services in your specific market to establish your name or brand. This will bring about trust if you take your time and are honest.

6 Submit press releases about anything new happening at your company or within your market. This will help keep your name in the headlines of your market.

7 Get feedback and input from your customers. Send out surveys, comment cards, calls for response, etc. The more engaged they are the more likely they are to do business with you. Plus if you ask them they will tell you what they want to buy!
