Websites are a great way to showcase your products and services to a
wide audience, but how do you drive traffic to your site? how do
customers out there know to choose you over the other hundreds if not
thousands of companies selling similar products or services? One of the
best ways is to build a community around your site.
Traditionally, not-for-profits like churches, charities and government organisations used online community websites to get their message out. However we're now seeing savvy marketers use online community sites to drive traffic to a product/service. The community (in the form of a blog, forums and anything else user posted) generates credibility and fresh content that attracts and builds an organic following.
The main focus of building an online community is for users to be able to interact in some way - contribute their own content, register to become a member, communicate with other site users or the site owner.
Psy-Web's Online Business Websites provide you with all you need to do this in a simple, user friendly way. The console allows you to add discussion forums and post regular news on a blog to keep visitors coming back. You can make a space for photo-uploads to show what's going on in your community, post podcasts of speeches or presentations for your visitors to download in a members-only area. We can make sure your existing customers know about your improved site and that they contribute as well throught the email marketing suite provided with the console!

Garnering awareness and acquiring customers is one of the great challenges of building a business. It is so important that there is an entire business discipline dedicated to this - known as marketing!
