I do agree with the comments about "building a website and they will come". Surely you need to ensure that you will have sufficient traffic BEFORE you start designing your site! http://www.heidicool.com/blog/2007/10/30/dont-build-your-web-site-in-a-vacuum/comment-page-1/#comment-1006 Stephanie Dow Mon, 12 May 2008 03:05:25 +0000 http://www.heidicool.com/blog/?p=113#comment-1006 I never thought to advertise locally for my main flagship website. You gave me some great ideas thank you for sharing this. http://www.heidicool.com/blog/2007/10/30/dont-build-your-web-site-in-a-vacuum/comment-page-1/#comment-1005 James King Sat, 03 May 2008 15:23:10 +0000 http://www.heidicool.com/blog/?p=113#comment-1005 A successful marketing campaign is very important after completing a website. There are millions upon millions of websites launched weekly and the presence of your website is vital. Create a marketing campaign, focusing directly on your target audience and launch excellent content, from articles, videos, podcasts, ebooks, presentations and submit this content on social media sites such as Digg to increase your presence and website brand. Business cards and T-shirts are excellent methods of marketing. Traffic generation is important and create eye-catching content to address your target audience. Best of luck, I enjoyed this post. Keep up the great work. http://www.heidicool.com/blog/2007/10/30/dont-build-your-web-site-in-a-vacuum/comment-page-1/#comment-1004 Paul Brown Mon, 28 Apr 2008 23:07:56 +0000 http://www.heidicool.com/blog/?p=113#comment-1004 For many of us, finding the time and commitment to complete a marketing plan for our Web sites is difficult. There are so many other obligations vying for our attention it is tempting to push planning to the back burner. Giving into that temptation, however, means putting your business at a disadvantage. Your marketing plan is the compass by which you navigate. As opportunities arise or your business environment changes, the objective and strategies in your marketing plan will point you toward the best action. Without a marketing plan, you risk becoming unfocused in your marketing and are only guessing what might be best for your business. http://www.heidicool.com/blog/2007/10/30/dont-build-your-web-site-in-a-vacuum/comment-page-1/#comment-1003 Patricia Lacey Mon, 28 Apr 2008 22:52:33 +0000 http://www.heidicool.com/blog/?p=113#comment-1003 Most of us probably create a web site first before we plan to market it. However just like a business plan, you should prepare your marketing strategy ahead of time. What's the benefit of doing this? The further you plan ahead the easier will all the pieces of your web site fall into place. http://www.heidicool.com/blog/2007/10/30/dont-build-your-web-site-in-a-vacuum/comment-page-1/#comment-1002 Mary Skyers Mon, 28 Apr 2008 22:45:25 +0000 http://www.heidicool.com/blog/?p=113#comment-1002 Creating a web site without developing a web site marketing plan is the same as planning for failure. A web site marketing plan is essential not only just to survive but to continue to thrive and expand your business. You should spend 80% of your time marketing your web site. It's the life blood of your online business. http://www.heidicool.com/blog/2007/10/30/dont-build-your-web-site-in-a-vacuum/comment-page-1/#comment-1001 Brian Petti Wed, 26 Mar 2008 06:07:50 +0000 http://www.heidicool.com/blog/?p=113#comment-1001 I can't believe how many folks expect to get business just by launching a website without having a marketing plan or some sort. http://www.heidicool.com/blog/2007/10/30/dont-build-your-web-site-in-a-vacuum/comment-page-1/#comment-1000 JobFreelance.info Sat, 02 Feb 2008 23:08:15 +0000 http://www.heidicool.com/blog/?p=113#comment-1000 Now, I know what must I do.
