The internet has changed practically everything about the way the world works. This applies to marketing, too. Now, companies use tools like social media, websites, and online ordering to market their products and services. Online marketing is like a whole new industry, and it changes by the day. Those in the industry have to stay on the forefront of technology. This blog is a place to learn more about online marketing. It won't compare to a college course or a professional course of study. However, it is a good place to start and do some reading. We welcome you to start reading and learning.
How can a web design company help you market your after-school art, education or athletic business? Your clients are the parents—and their children. If you've tried other forms of advertising without success, take a look at what you need to know before you build a website and jump into the online marketing arena.
Why Do You Need A Website?
Simply stated, because your customers expect it. Parents have more than enough to do during their busy day. They don't need to wade through paper flyers, make dozens of extra calls or drive around town searching for art studios, martial arts schools or indoor soccer leagues. Instead, they want (and need) extra-curricular or after-school program information at their fingertips.
According to a 2021 Pew Research Center survey, eight-five percent of American adults use the Internet daily. Almost half of adults (48 percent) go online more than once per day and 31 percent are almost constantly online. With the growing percentage of adults using the Internet, a website provides an easy way to catch your customers' attention.
Not only can a professionally designed website attract new families to your after-school program, but it can also help you maintain your customer base and keep in touch with parents. From blogs and newsletters to information on new programs, a website allows you to connect with existing customers consistently.
Why Do You Need To Hire A Website Development Company?
Whether you have an existing website or are starting from scratch, your small business can benefit from a professional design service. Even though you will need to allocate or potentially reallocate funds to this expense, a professionally designed website may increase your overall profitability and can:
Help parents find the information they need—and quickly. DIY sites created by novice designers are often difficult to navigate. This can leave your potential or existing customers clicking through page after page.
Act as an ad. Again, a website can attract future customers. Even though your site is informative, it is also an advertisement. A professional design has a clean, finished look that a DIY site may not have.
Use the latest technology. Do you want a site that allows parents to pay for classes online or has an interactive program calendar? A web designer can help you to build a site that uses the top tech tools available.
Before you hire a designer, ask to view the firm's portfolio. Look for similar sites that have the same aesthetic feel and functional aspects (such as online ordering or an email information form) you want for your small business website.
