Your Digital Brick and Mortar
What is a “Digital Brick and Mortar”? A Digital Brick and Mortar is a digital representation of your business.
Too often I meet local business owners who have great products or services to offer, but don’t have a website for their business. Or sometimes I’ll see a “brick and mortar” business and search the web to learn more about them, but find no website for their business. Or business cards; some people will hand me a business card, with no website address printed on it.
Google Maps is another place where I see a ton of “brick and mortar” businesses listed that don’t have a website. Did you ever try searching for a local restaurant on Google Maps and find that there is no website you can visit to check out the atmosphere before you go there for dinner?
If you’re a standard “brick and mortar” business without a website you are missing one key essential to your business plan that could drastically increase your success. A business website is your digital brick and mortar for your business. Sure you can go without a website and gain customers through referrals and networking, but a digital brick and mortar could free up more of your time by providing a digital representation of your business.
What if you had an inexpensive salesman, or spokesperson, that could handle all of the referrals, networking and background information for your business? This is where your business website, or “digital brick and mortar” as I like to call it, comes into play. With a digital brick and mortar, you can direct people to your website for information about your business. And, new clients have a way to research your business before they buy. With a business website, you can drastically increase sales, and capture a larger market of people who search the internet specifically for the products and services you have to offer. This “target marketing” can all be made possible through your business website.
The internet has become an essential part of life to all consumers today. It is the number one resource used by consumers to find both local and regional businesses who offer the products and services they need. Your success in business is determined by your visibility. Traditionally, the best way to make your business visible was to have a listing in the yellow pages.
Today, having a business website is the absolute best way to increase your visibility, because most consumers have become accustom to searching the internet to find businesses who offer the products and services they need. Even if you meet customers on a personal level, they still turn to the internet to research your business and find out more information about the products and services before they buy. This makes having a digital brick and mortar a key essential to the success of your business.
Building a digital brick and mortar for your business is much less expensive than having a physical brick and mortar. And a business website will pay for itself, most times within the first few sales. So investing in a digital brick and mortar for your business could yield the highest ROI of any other business expense.
Since a business website acts as the spokesperson for your business, you can’t just settle for a poorly designed website. That’s why I refer to business websites as your digital brick and mortar because it acts as a representation for your business, very similar to if you have an office location or a physical brick and mortar. Therefore, it’s extremely important to have a well designed and well developed digital representation of your business.
