This is a great way to drive business to your website. You can use this vehicle as a way to bring a little piece of your website to your clients through email. Include a single paragraph and then encourage readers to click for
more information. This technique is sure to drive traffic to your site.
Research and Advertise
Have you ever stopped to consider what your prospects might type in a search engine to find your product? Don't just consider it - test it out. Do a search for your product in a few of the more popular search engines. What you'll find may help
you plan your marketing efforts. Many times you'll find Websites that are simply directories for businesses like yours. They've paid the high fees associated with being listed at the top of the searches and provide advertising
opportunities. You should also consider Trade Associations, Local Business Directories and your local Chamber of Commerce for advertising opportunities.
Webcards
If your website is new and you'd like to draw immediate attention to it, maybe you should consider a 4x6 post card announcing your site. You can also include an action for the reader - Like "Visit our website to register to receive our free
Monthly Newsletter"
