The idea of marketing a new start-up business with Flyers, Mailers, etc is a great inexpensive way to inform the local area about your business.

But how many times have you seen this scenario?

Have you ever got a flyer that had a compelling offer such as “We make Special Candy Baskets”, hmm that sound interesting and maybe something I’m
looking for but the only thing I can gleam from the flyer is a phone number. What? I’m mean come on its 2009 and if you want customers you have
to at least give them something to look at! I mean did they really think consumers are going to call and try to decipher over the phone what kind of baskets the make. Further did they build enough creditability that consumers are going to waste time and gas driving to the location? More than likely, Not!

Businesses that use these methods have to learn how to “Close the Sales Loop” with the consumer. This could have been done by providing the consumer a simple 2 page website to visit with a couple baskets that the company made. The consumer would have had enough information to make a decision to visit the store in person or place an order on the internet. So, make 2010 your year to close the loop on more customers with a Web 3.0 designed website for only $9.95 per month.
