Launch Your Local Business Website
Many business owners I work with pay little thought to launching their websites when it is completed. A website is an asset, not an expense. Your business website introduces your company and services to prospects, it builds and reinforces your brand. A website can also qualify your prospects for you. If your prospects contacts you by email, chances are a) they have a need for your products or services and b) you can set up a presentation or sales call with the prospect.
Smart Business Owners Will Create A Launch
One of my clients launched their website during one of the biggest event on their calender. After I had handed over the website to them, they asked me to support their launch during their annual dinner. They had invited all their customers, representatives from relevant associations and state departments, and their guest of honor was a State minister.
The website was launched by their guest of honor, and they got me up on the stage to introduce their website. The launch itself was relatively simple, the entire process was shown on the large screen television all around the ballroom. The guest of honor clicked a button and the website was revealed to audience. With loud music, party poppers and a television screens, it looked great.
At the end of the day, it was a great show, with plenty of performances and awards being given out. The customers are impressed, and the client is happy that everything went as planned. So all in all, everybody wins.
