Marketing your business to the world at next to no cost
In a journey we have just taken designing our new www.industrialphotography.biz and www.architectureshots.com websites. It has been amazing to reflect on just how far web marketing has come from the early days of websites.
For very small costs we have been able to gather together theme templates plus little extra pieces of code that together create quite an amazing, visually enriching experience. Many of the elements to give these sites their life are small “ Snippets ” of code made available for free from some very clever and generous code building enthusiasts. There are also many ways of placing your message for all to see free of charge or for very little cost indeed.
By swapping the time needed to watch the latest series on popular TV for some research time. You can gather the necessary elements to build a great marketing presence on the internet. Impressive, feature rich web sites for minimal cost can be built and launched by anyone willing to do a little research and use the many free or very cheap resources on offer.
There has to be a catch ! And there is. If its easy for you, its easy for your competition. Its a very competitive world. Eventually you are going to use it for your own benefit or its going to be used in competition to you. So if you can do it, so can everybody else. How do you ever stand out and make your message work to build your business. That can be summed up in one word CONTENT.
The CONTENT you put into any of your marketing material whether written, still images, moving images, or audio is what makes your message unique and powerful or not. Creating CONTENT unique to your business is where you will stand out from anybody else. Great CONTENT great results.
No matter how many bells and whistles you employ others can employ the same. But showing what you or your business offers is your unique selling point. So making sure that looks as good as you can make it is the all important ingredient.
