Business Communication Made Easy

Here is one of many simple ways to improve your business communication

We start a business with the focus on being successfull and building a legacy for us and our families. If you’re considering having your website designed, now would be a great time act on your hunch. The downside to not taking action is that your clients are finding your competiror’s websites via their mobile devices and computers.

One of the reasons why Toys “R” Us failed in the USA is that they could not compete with online platforms such as amazon.com and they never stayed with the times. If you’re still using gmail or yahoo for your business then use this link to see if your domain name is available to register. Let’s say you have a domain, are you using your business email to communicate? Does your website need an upgrade to function as a sales person and to promote your business?

What if you’re about to close a huge deal but the requirements are that you must have a website and business email. Will you get the deal?

Step 1: Let’s look at how to improve you business communication.

The first step to creating your online presence:
1. Register a domain name i.e. www.{your-company-name}.co.za
2. You need a Web Hosting Platform for the domain and email to function

4. You get a free Under Construction Page with your contact details once your domain is registered with us until your website is completed and live.

We will share more on the second step to creating your online presence that will improve your business communication.

Our advice is to register your domain before someone reserves it. Imagine you registered amazon.com, discovered that people love your website and services and you earn billions in sales. It all starts with a website and email that everyone gets to love and trust over time.

Having your own domain and email will enable you to:
1. Effectively communicate with your suppliers and clients
2. Build trust in your brand

Below is a great way to start your marketing approach:
After registering your domain, use your website and email addresses on all your marketing material (Menu, Flyers, Business Cards, Banners, etc.)

i trust that this will help you in your journey to create your online presence.
