Carwash Websites - A Brochure or Storefront

If you are looking for an Internet presence , the title of this article is the question that needs to be done before putting your hard earned money . Why? Because it could work to understand the different approaches to how a website is the level of commitment and effort to be applied to the success of their Internet marketing campaigns .

Make no mistake about it , there is definitely a certain amount of time and financial commitment to the founding of a "successful" Internet presence. I'm not saying you are, a second mortgage and hire dedicated staff to manage your website , but you must ensure that established and maintained professionally. An Internet campaign half was actually more of a disadvantage than an advantage for your business. In many cases, your website is the first impression , has a client of yours . This valuable first impression is not something that should be left to " Phil ... , type of computer that" define .

The purpose of this article is not to convince you to get your business online carwashing . It focuses on changing your perception about how to run your website. It looks for you. An informed decision about how they make you take at the beginning of its presence in Internet Marketing

The digital brochure

The common perception that I have seen is that a website can only act as an online brochure . Its function is to provide visitors with basic information about the company , details about its commitment to a high level of service , opening hours and where you can find it . Oh , yeah ... and "Contact" link . In its simplest form , it can act as an online brochure , a website, but with a little more commitment can act as a virtual extension of your brick and mortar of a website. This gives you a chance to get in front of consumers who are online and surf the Internet .

Operational Highlights

I will ask that their perception of how a website should work to change the thinking putting that " Operational Storefront " . Remember, not simply as an online brochure , but treat it as a full-fledged business with the roads leading to it, with a density of traffic and customers with a need and are willing to spend money to meet that need !

Why? As a website has the same properties as that of a bricks and mortar based business:

The streets , roads and highways

As roads and highways leading to their brick and mortar , a website also has this infrastructure in the form of links from other sites that are running theirs . The "highways" would search engines or online - be yellow pages . Roads and trails would inbound links from other smaller sites.

Traffic and Customers

If these roads, physical or virtual streets and avenues to bring to the consumer, must meet the requirements. You look at these needs, providing services to meet at a "percentage" that sell traffic. If all things are equal, that percentage will remain static in the rule. How can you increase sales? Either add new services to attract new customers and increase their rates ( rate of change) , or the construction of new roads and lead to increase your company one of the cars in the traffic.

This method works the same way in the virtual world. By making your site interactive and provide services through your website then to meet the needs of visitors . The more services that are on your website , the greater the chance that you can capture and convert them into a customer visit.

The big advantage is that the virtual world through creative marketing, you can create new paths to your website to build and increase your traffic count ... something that is almost impossible in the physical world.

I want to briefly comment on the creative process of marketing and how it relates to the developer decides to design your website. There are two types of design "houses" :

Graphics and Design Centric Developers

Developers focused on Internet marketing

For carwashing industry , choose the latter. The first priority is to provide the appearance of your site and most of its resources to the design. Its aim is to ensure that your website is commercial and is designed to meet the needs of your audience. You also have the ability to customize an Internet marketing campaign based on the needs and goals of your company.

A showcase for Sale

One of the most powerful ways of how you can attract customers to take advantage of the valuable space on the front of the building. Through her ​​store , that will show how you can meet their " Show" to its products and services, leading offer prices that implement discount programs and everything that the consumer is based on the road and on site .

On the Internet, the home page of your website is the " showcase " for the virtual company! When a visitor follows a path on your website and looking up at her window , that burden by " Show" the products and services you offer ? Is your home making you look twice, showing the great savings that are available? Power lets you quickly navigate to products and services they are looking for ? Are they made ​​it known that they can meet their immediate needs so it is easy to buy online ?

Visitors who need

That's it! As a consumer through the door, a visitor to your site comes with a "need" . You have defined your home page and addressed this need by providing visitors what they want or need "obstacles " such as animated page "splash" or " About Us " to welcome screens ( please read my warning walk Final of this article about splash pages ) .

More cases than not, seems to me that when interviewing a client asked for a new website, its focus on great design without considering the needs of visitors. Remember ... a website is a marketing and sales tool for your business and not a canvas to express their artistic creativity. I'm not saying it is not a clean and professional look , but I stress that must be done to meet the needs of your audience in the first place . I know that sounds a bit critical in this area, but there are so many sites that miss the mark . Meeting the needs of your target audience is one of the basic principles in establishing not only a successful Internet marketing campaign , but any type of marketing campaign.
Created by traffic data for marketing concepts involved parallels to be drawn between a physical and virtual stores are endless. So how big are the chances that would have held when a creative Internet marketing campaign . Some of this knowledge is to know that a website to go far beyond the online brochure . You can become a virtual extension of the physical store where you can buy the new generation of online consumers.
