Easy Button: Standing Out 

Written by Nicole Meloche

In the late 19th century, the only real forms of advertising were in newspaper, on posters and in handbills. Oh how times have changed. Choosing the right medium for your business today is much more complicated. Even after choosing where to promote your business it is becoming much more difficult to stand out amongst the crowd!

How important is it for business to be easily accessible for their consumers today? It is crucial to make sure that not only your business name but also what your business does is on the top of your consumers mind. Once that is done you need to make sure they can find you easily in this crazy web world.

How to be an EASY BUTTON for your consumer:
1. Pick up the phone: Surprise your client and call them before they call you. Reach out to your current clients even after the sale, make sure they are satisfied and that they can call you for any further needs.

2. Send relevant emails: Let your clients know you are thinking about them  by sending an email with relevant content, specific news for them. It does not need to be all about your business, let them know you want to help them grow besides what business you are doing together. Make sure all contact information is included (i.e., Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Blog, Vcard etc.)

3. Validate your business: Write a weekly Blog about an industry and post to multiple blog spots that your consumers are reading. This will keep your name topical and show consumers you are the best choice when it comes to their business.

4. Think outside the box: Think about ways that your business can stand out, maybe an icon that can be placed on your consumers desktop, or send a creative gift to your consumers that will allow them to think of your business.

By becoming the EASY BUTTON for your consumers this will increase referrals, repeat business, and priceless validation for you!
