Know Thy Customer - Part 1
How to create content so that the customer will listen and how to listen to the customer so that they'll speak - part 1.Do you really understand your customers? Who really does? Well you can, with the right tools, ideas and content!
As a business, you need to understand how to communicate your products, services and ideas to your customers; but what if you're tools, ideas and content aren't getting through to the customer? There are many ways to keep the customer coming back for me and allowing them interact with your business:
- Use a blog!
More and more businesses nowadays are using blogs as a way to interact with their customers. They are very powerful and useful as a means to keep the customer up to date with the business's news and ideas. Most blogs also allow the customer/reader to leave comments on their news and articles and this is a great way to gain regular custom. - Make it easy for the customer to contact you
You're not going to get any customers or enquires if your customers can't contact you! It's a good idea to have a contact form, not just a general one, but specific ones so that you can get all the information out of the customer without the customer not knowing what to say when they email you. - Do your research
Get your friends and family and their friends and family to visit your site and take it apart. Listen to what they've got to say, whether it's about spelling or grammar or the ease of navigation of your site. User testing is essential, especially with those who are not affiliated with the creation of the web site and those not from your business - Don't be afraid
A web site is unlike any other type of marketing medium around. If your site doesn't seem to be working and attracting custom, you can recreate your content, design, interaction, the whole site - within a few days, even hours! As your business mobel, products or even concepts change, so can your site! Don't be afraid to take risks in doing something new whether it's a contempory design or new user interactions!
