If there’s one thing we learned in 2020, it was that one can do pretty much anything online. Birthday party – check. Pub Quiz – check. Shopping for ANYTHING? Check. Online networking events? They aren’t always pretty but they are definitely do-able. So if your business isn’t online, it’s never been more important to grow your digital presence.
All businesses CAN go online ...
Yes, there are many businesses out there who just can’t operate online in the same way as they can in real life: hairdressers, massage therapists, medical aesthetic practitioners, etc. just can’t deliver their face-to-face services through a phone or computer screen. However, they can communicate about temporary closures and interact with their customers online, helping to maintain their business-customer bond and ensure, when their premises do reopen again, that their customers are the the first to know and the first through the door! Social Media platforms can be great at this, as can a chatbot on your website to give people the option to contact you quickly and simply.
Add a digital income stream
Another way you can grow your digital presence is to add a further digital income stream to your business. Could you sell products relating to your business through an online shop? If you are a hairdresser, you could sell great quality hair products. If you are a massage therapist, you could sell crystals and essential oils to help boost relaxation from home. There are a huge number of products out there that you could consider buying from an industry-specific wholesaler.
Affiliate marketing
However, if you’re concerned about the outlay for physical products, why not consider affiliate marketing? This is where you can link through to quality products from your own website (from brands as diverse as M&S to Currys PC World) and receive a commission if one of the ‘leads’ you send from your website makes a purchase within a certain period of time. With affiliate marketing, the fulfilment for the products is managed by the retailer themselves, so all you have to do is advertise the products on your website and link through to their website, making it a quick and simple option for people wanting to add a second income stream to their website.
