If you are the owner or manager of a small business, then it is likely that you will need to create a digital footprint for your company at some point.  In today’s society, a digital presence can almost “make or break” a small business, because so many people find or follow businesses online.  Below are a few ideas that may help you with creating a dynamic digital brand that will not only add value for your company, but will also aid in providing company stability and customer loyalty for a long, successful future.

Create an “Open Book” Policy: 

Many customers enjoy learning the background story of individual companies.  Things like why a company was created, what is the company’s mission and vision, highlights of employees or customers, and that sort of thing help to create a company that is interesting and welcoming.

Create an Inviting Online Design:

Choose your company’s online style wisely.  When choosing things like colors, fonts, labels, logos, etc., pick things that show an ideal image of your company.  Plan to stick with your design theme for at least a year or two, before you upgrade or redesign.

Grow Your Online Presence with an Email List:

Customers like to hear from the companies they favor, so seek email addresses from your customers and send regular, valuable emails.  As your email list grows, so will your loyal base of customers.

Grow Your Online Presence with Various Social Media Platforms:

The more ways you can display your company, the more people will notice you.  People use a variety of social media sites in order to receive information, so it will behoove your company if you can show up on multiple social media platforms.

Hire Professional Help:

There are many companies that are social media design specialists.  If you need assistance with creating your online presence, consider hiring a professional to help you.  Also, freelancers are available to aid with writing online content or organizing your company’s social media needs.

Consider Yelp or Google Business sites:

Creating a profile on a company review board, such as Yelp or Google Business, can give a company a lot of online exposure.  Customers can rate, review, or recommend businesses on these sites, and this can be a valuable way to present your company to a wide range of potential customers.

Add Value in Your Online Presence:

Stay honest, open, and valuable in any online presentations that your company exhibits.  Customers will appreciate learning from you, instead of feeling like they are wasting their time on useless information.

In conclusion, there are many things to consider as you present your small business on an online platform; however, it is very important in our day and age, to make online presentations.  Take your time, put some thought in to what you would like to display, and be consistent with your chosen online tools.  Your company can truly shine online.
