Today’s small businesses need to have a website where customers can go to learn more about their products and services. With so much commerce switching to online, not having a business website today isn’t practical.

But for small business owners, a single website isn’t going to be enough to penetrate today’s digital-centric marketplace. Instead, the most effective approach is to have a multi-pronged approach that includes both traditional and mobile websites, social media campaigns, direct message capability, and more. Your competitors are likely already doing these things to capture your customers. So if you hope to maintain your market share — let alone grow it — these are the minimum you need to be doing.

Multi-Platform Campaign

Think about the way you look for the products and services you want. Most likely, you aren’t going to drive around your neighborhood looking for a car mechanic, for example. Instead, you are much more likely to Google “car mechanics near me” on your smart phone or tablet. Or you may rely on word of mouth referrals which you would get — you guessed it — from your friends or contacts on social media.

Your customers do the same thing. Everybody does these days. So in order to remain competitive, your small business needs to have multi-platform campaigns that promote your business where you customers are paying attention: Their phones and other devices.

Lytron Web Design

You might think from our name that we specialize exclusively in designing websites. But our business has evolved along with the marketplace. We now offer multi-platform campaigns that penetrate the digital marketplace for small business owners. We can launch and maintain social media campaigns, produce weekly blog content, and even attract business to your primary and mobile websites.

As the business environment changes, successful small businesses need to adapt. With Lytron Web Design on your side, you can capture a larger market share and build your business, your customer base, and your profits.

Color, Design and Images Should Match Your Branding

When designing a website for your business — or any media, online or otherwise — the choices you make about what colors to use, the fonts you pick, and especially the images you include are hugely important. Most site visitors arrive with certain expectations about your brand. So if they encounter a website that defies those expectations they are going to be confused and possibly turned off.

Consistency in branding is something even small businesses need to be concerned about these days. That’s because thanks to the internet there is no such thing as small businesses anymore. When you are promoting your products and services online, you can attract global customers just as easily as local ones.

The Choices We Make

So keeping your branding consistent through every type of media — physical, digital, print, broadcast, and so on — helps attract new customers, retain existing ones, and continually grow and expand your business.

That means website design is a lot more complicated than it used to be. The days of choosing a pre-existing template and just plugging in your business facts are over. Today’s websites need to match your other media in terms of color, design, images, and content.

Lytron Web Design

It used to be relatively simple to get a small business website up and running. Now there are a lot more considerations to include. But at Lytron Web Design, our team of experienced, knowledgeable web design professionals have the skills and tools to make your business website consistent with the rest of your branding.

The websites we create and maintain for you will add to your brand, not clash with it. They will share color schemes, fonts, images, and more. As a result, your web pages will be more comfortable and familiar to your customers, ensuring they return again and again.

But they’re there. The key to success is finding the fastest, most effective ways to connect those people with your company.

Put a Face on Your Business

People make more genuine connections when they associate a business with an actual person rather than simply a vague concept. When you put a face on your business — putting somebody front and center on your marketing, promotions, and advertising — it can engage people on a personal and emotional level that has a more lasting impact.

Think about your own experience. Don’t you tend to remember commercials or print advertisements that feature one person in particular, be it the owner or founder of the company, a spokesperson for the business, or even simply a model hired to be featured in the marketing?

Face Time

It’s wired into our human psychology to make genuine, emotional connections with people rather than things. We’re naturally social beings. So focusing your marketing on individual people offers a shortcut to positive emotional bonds with prospective customers. To make it easier for people to connect with your business, keep it simple by choosing just one or a few people to be the focal point of your marketing campaigns.

But who should be featured? Somebody with a lot of personal charm and charisma but also a person who seems approachable, open, and friendly. Physical attractiveness is a plus, too, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be somebody who looks like a movie star or who has the body of a professional athlete. Normal people relate better to other everyday people.

Lytron Strategic

At Lytron Strategic, we have plenty of great ideas about how to make your digital marketing more appealing to people actively looking online for businesses just like yours. We can help you choose a face for your business the develop strategies for leading people to your business organically.

When you put a face on your business, people feel more comfortable interacting with it, adding warmth, likeability, and even passion for your products or services.

Video Adds Dynamic Motion to Websites

Nowadays, most websites include some sort of video on both their home page and their jump pages. Video adds dynamic motion, drawing the site visitor into your business and instantly engaging them in new and exciting ways.

Until recently, web designers tended to shy away from video because they took so long to load. The fear was that too many visitors would click off after becoming impatient with the loading wait time. But speeds and bandwidth have increased and today videos load instantly in most cases.

Value of Video

A website without video is static, meaning it doesn’t have any motion. People using the web today are accustomed to watching streaming videos so they come to expect some sort of action on your website from the moment they land there. If you don’t have any video on your business website, it can look strange and off-putting for people used to watching videos on their devices all day.

If you can include videos on your website, it’s a good idea to do so. Videos add a whole other dimension to your business website, inviting visitors to step inside and see what it is you have to offer. Videos also give you room to show why your products and services are superior to your competitors and boost your argument that visitors should choose your business over everybody else.

Lytron Web Design

The skilled, experienced web professionals at Lytron Web Design can seamlessly weave video into your business website, improving its effectiveness while strengthening loyalty bonds with your customers. They are simple to include and boost value and aesthetics.

When you include videos on your website, you offer people more reasons to do business with your company. Lytron Web Design can make your business websites more active, more compelling, and more successful with the simple addition of video.

Your Business Appeals to a Certain Kind of Customer

Who is buying the products or services you are selling? In all likelihood, it’s probably the same person. At least in general. While the ideal is for everybody to want what you offer, in reality, that’s not usually the case. There are very few products that have universal appeal.

Some people like Coke and others like Pepsi. Or Dr Pepper. Or Sprite. Each of those brands has determined what the characteristics are of the people who prefer their soda pop over all the others, then crafted a brand that appeals to exactly that type of person, tapping into a multi-billion dollar market. If you can do this with your business, you can open up a whole new world of opportunity.

Who Are You?

Before you can understand who your target customer is, you need to think about the image your company projects. Then you need to think about whether the branding you have created so far by chance is the optimal branding for the customers you want or who already are predisposed to preferring your products or services.

This is the magic key that opens up new markets for your business and can lead to your taking the next step in scale. If so far you have appealed only to people living near your store or office, learning about the most effective branding can take you nationwide, or even global.

Lytron Strategic

It’s hard to do this on your own. But Lytron Strategic helps small businesses just like yours discover their most effective branding every day. We collaborate with you to answer the question of what your customer looks like by determining how your business is perceived. Then we develop a plan to project exactly the image you want to bring those customers to your door or website.

You business appeals to a certain type of customer. Learn who that is and you can break through to the next level.

Online Marketing Lets You Expand Your Customer Base

If you own a local small business, odds are most of your customers live or work within a few small miles of your geographic location – whether it’s a retail storefront, an office, a workshop, or a factory. Many people prefer to do business with people in their neighborhood, especially if it’s a service industry such as plumbing, electrical, car repair, and so on.

But thanks to the global reach of the internet, you no longer need to rely only on the few thousand people in your area. Instead, you can market and connect with people from coast to coast or even internationally just as easily as you can customers walking through your front door.

Global Marketing

In fact, an increasing number of people today are using online stores to buy more of the products they want. When was the last time you drove down to the shopping mall, parked your car, and walked inside to buy what you wanted? More likely, you Googled it, found an online seller, and had it shipped directly to your doorstep.

So if you are still putting most of your focus on driving people to your physical location, you are marketing to a shrinking number of prospective customers. There are more people searching online right now for the exact products or services you sell than will ever visit your store in person.

Lytron Strategic

If you have been in business for a while, you probably already know how to greet people visiting your store, steer them toward what they are looking for, and possibly even upsell them or promote some additional purposes. But what do you know about online marketing? Maybe not so much.

But you don’t have to. Fortunately, Lytron Strategic already has you covered. We can collaborate with you to develop effective, affordable online campaigns that bring you new customers from all over the country, even worldwide.

 

Use All-Original Images and Content

The images and content you use on your web pages should always be original. If you do use a photo, video, or writing created by somebody else, unless you have their permission in writing and/or have paid a licensing fee, you can get in legal trouble if you use it online as part of your marketing.

Taking or using your own pictures, making original videos, or writing original content is the best way to offer your customers something fresh and new while avoiding accusations of plagiarism or copyright infringement later.

Creating Content

Thanks to today’s technology, coming up with original art, pictures, and even videos is super easy. Your smartphone probably has as much production capability and camera tech on it than was available in Hollywood’s biggest studios just a few decades ago.

If you are experienced at writing, you can create your own textual content as well. Otherwise, you can hire professional writers to create clear, concise, and effective content for you. Connecting with original words and images can attract the attention of new customers, retain existing clients, and build long-term loyalty bonds that can build your business.

Lytron Web Design

If you aren’t experienced at designing web pages or aren’t sure which images or other content make the strongest connections, Lytron Web Design has you covered. We can assist you in finding original art, creating all-new content, and making fresh and exciting websites that genuinely connect with customers.

Trying to take shortcuts by using other people’s images or writing is not only risky but also fails to put your personality and stamp on your web content. It can also lead to legal problems. At Lytron Design, we have the experience, knowledge, and tools to create original, refreshing web content for your business that brings you the results you want.

 

Make Emotional Connections with Customers

AMMI 1

The most effective marketing makes instant emotional connections with customers. You probably remember watching a TV commercial that unexpectedly moved you to tears.

Your digital marketing doesn’t need to be that dramatic to be effective. But it should still include images, colors, text, and other content that prospective customers can experience on an emotional level. All of your digital design needs to be developed to make people feel something about your company, your brand, your products or your services.

Emotional Triggers

So what are these emotional triggers? It depends on your business and the message you are trying to project. Frequently, including personal information or revealing details about your life offers people a way to connect with your business emotionally. Start paying attention to the way other businesses build their brand online and you will start to see how effective this can be.

Another way is to include powerful photographs, illustrations, videos, and other images that tug at the heartstrings. When done skillfully, there is no faster way to draw people into your brand. As the old saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”

Lytron Web Design

At Lytron Web Design, we have been helping small business owners develop powerful online marketing strategies that reach people’s feelings to make strong emotional connections. We can help you discover new customers, build loyalty bonds, and develop a recognizable brand while building a positive company reputation.

People online today are bombarded with thousands of images and messages every hour. The experienced, professional web experts at Lytron Web Design can help you find the most powerful, effective messaging for your business that instantly connects with people on a deep and powerful emotional level.
