Nifty ideas you can use to build a better business
Jazz Up Your Site
Need to put some pizzazz in your Web site? Try
these ideas:
-
Run a weekly
survey that appeals to your audience. Each
week post the results of the previous survey
and add a new survey that entices visitors to
respond.
-
Post a “Tip of
the Week” that’s relevant to your visitors.
To create interaction, ask visitors for their
best tips then post the tip along with the
visitor’s name. Just be sure to get the
tipster’s permission first.
-
Add an industry
specific news page to your Web site. Run
news about industry trends, upcoming trade
shows and conferences or post links to
industry specific Web sites.
Write It Right
Writing a business proposal is often
required if you want to land a big client. But
before you hand over that brilliant piece of
work, make sure your proposal isn’t stuffed
with industry jargon. Words and expressions
that are common to you can leave clients
confused. For instance, the word “turnkey”
shows up in many business proposals, but it
can take on different meanings in different
industries. If you must use industry-specific
language, explain it. Remember, the objective
is to land the project, which requires clear,
concise communication on your part.
