5 Signs You Might Need A New Website

0 Comments

When was the last time you took a hard look at your company website? These days, your website is essential for a successful online presence. It is the #1 place where customers and prospects visit to learn more about your company and the products and services you offer. I’ve seen companies spend more money on redecorating their boardroom than a fraction of that cost to redesign their website. Your website is a living, 24-hour a day, digital salesperson. Just because you don’t see your website in the office lunchroom doesn’t mean its contributions are any less than their human counterparts.

For those lighting agencies, electrical contractors, and other smart technology professionals, here is a list that will help you to recognize the signs you might be ready:

1. Your site does not reflect your brand

As a lighting rep agency, your brand reputation is everything. If your website is not reflective of your brand, then you may be sending out the wrong message. In fact, many principals rarely visit their own websites. If it’s been a while since you cast a critical eye on your company’s website, now is the time. Pretend you are a customer visiting the website for the first time. Does the website tell your unique brand story? Can you easily navigate to important pages? Does it load quickly? Your website is the embodiment of your brand. If you want to bring your brand to life, a proper website design should reflect the best parts of your brand.

2. Your site is not mobile-friendly

As of 2019, mobile devices generated about 50% of all website traffic. (Statista, 2020). If your website is not designed to be mobile-friendly, you may be missing out on potential web visitors. In 2015, Google started favoring those websites that created to work seamlessly with mobile devices . Since 2018, many marketers have transformed their websites to take things further by incorporating a mobile-first digital strategy. Mobile-first strategy is more than a responsive website. By 2025, 75% of the workforce will be millennials and a mobile-first strategy should be considered a cultural move. If you want to set yourself up for the future, invest in a mobile-first strategy.

And these days just having a good product line, and great customer service can’t guarantee that you’ll win customers. While these things are essential for your success, they aren’t enough. You need to get your business in front of the right people, and once you’ve done that you need to engage them and nurture your relationship with them until they are ready to buy.

6 Signs
Maybe you have your hands full running your business and you don’t have time to do all of that yourself. Luckily, you have options, such as outsourcing those marketing efforts. Here are 6 more signs that you might be ready to outsource your business’s marketing:

Are Clients Your BFF’s?

When I was 10 years old I had a best friend and we did everything together. When she wore crazy socks to school, I wore crazy socks to school. When she saw a movie, I saw the same movie. When I sang a song, she sang the same song. We were best friends because we liked all the same things and did things the same way. After all, that’s what many BFF’s like to do.

Client’s however are not BFF’s. They think differently than you do, they read different books, and do business their own way. Today especially, consumers have multiple avenues in which to shop. They can pick and choose where and when they do research on the products or services they need.

Recently I had a prospect tell me “I’ll never do email blasts because I hate receiving emails.”
