Do you view your website as an expense or as an investment'
Surprisingly, many companies seem to view their website as a
necessary cost of doing business, not an opportunity to
attract an audience and gain new customers. The following
five tips can help transform a non-performing website into an
effective sales and marketing tool.

1. Make sure potential customers can find you on the search
engines.
Most businesses don't take advantage of search engine
optimization, but few things on the Internet can be as
beneficial. A recent Forrester Research report showed that 80%
of web surfers discover the new sites that they visit through
search engines. According to iProspect, 85% of web users use
search engines to find solutions and vendors. A properly
executed search engine optimization campaign can drive
numerous, highly targeted visitors to your site, typically at
a fraction of the cost of traditional advertising. Without
high search engine rankings, you will only get visitors that

(and with any luck, indispensable). This helps to establish
your company as an expert in your field while building a level
of trust with your visitors.

3. Develop regular e-newsletters and announcements to inform

and keep up to date with current and potential customers (but
only those who ask for them).
A properly executed newsletter campaign can help your business
retain existing customers and attract new ones. Routinely
sending out informational content that your newsletter
subscribers find valuable is another excellent way to build a
level of trust with them while continually establishing
yourself as an expert in your product or service area. Over
time, your recipients will be increasingly likely to recommend
your products or services to others. A newsletter can also be
used to announce special promotions and sales. A recent
Doubleclick survey of more than 1,000 Internet users found
that more than 82 percent of them had made a purchase online
during the past year as a result of some sort of advertisement
they received through email. The study revealed, however, that
people were much more receptive to email from companies with
whom they already had a relationship.
