Asheville Business after Covid 19 – We Can Do This!

Asheville Business after Covid 19 As our state starts talking about reopening, we need to stop a moment and consider what that means. What will reopening bring? What will our new business environment look like?

The Online Shift

Up to now, the move of business online has been mostly evolutionary, but current events have made it a survival tool. The post-COVID world will be different. We will surely face new challenges in how we adapt and overcome.

Adapt and Overcome

Our local and county chambers predict that 30 percent of our local businesses will not survive. These are just some of the questions we face.

– What types of business will be left?
– How strongly will tourism come back?
– How will new health rules affect our incomes? More space means fewer tables, and fewer tables means less money.
– How are we going to handle the shortages of food and supplies to come?
– How are we going to handle sports without crowds? Concerts without crowds?
– How will a possible second round of Covid in the fall affect holiday sales?

We all know this will end, for lack of a better word. And we know life will be completely different when it does. Together we can do this—adapt and overcome! How we meet these challenges today will not only define us, it will define humanity from this point forward.

We all have questions let’s face them together

Web Design Pricing: How Much Does A Web Design Cost?

Whether you’re looking to launch a new website or improve an existing web design, you’re going to want to know — how much does web design cost? With professional web design prices can range from $1000 to more than $10,000. There are a variety of factors that influence the cost of web design.

More specifically, it’s a matter of how much work is involved. The two determining factors are size and the complexity of your website both relate directly to the price.

That means an attractive, professional 10-page informational website with standard customization is going to cost less than a highly customized 50-page website with all the bells and whistles.

Web Design Pricing: How Much Does A Web Design Cost?

A basic web design for a small business can cost between $1000 to $10,000. That should provide your company with a credible, user-friendly site that can start driving purchases, phone calls, and quote requests specific to your brand and goals.

Searching web designers in our area that listed their prices, we found the going rate in WNC to build a modern, professional small business website was typically $3,000-$6,000. Though again, it depends on the number of pages and the amount of customization needed.

If you’re a small business or startup, a good basic web design offers a cost-effective option. Be prepared to spend between $3,000-$6,000. That means a nice-looking, professional 10-page informational website with standard customization.

WHAT DETERMINES WEB DESIGN PRICING

With such a broad price range for a web design — it’s natural to wonder what determines the cost of web design. The six most influential factors on design costs include: Size, Style, Copywriting, Custom Features, SEO

Web Design Pricing: How Much Does A Web Design Cost

Website Size

The size of your website plays a significant role in web design pricing.
If you’re looking to create a larger site, you can expect to pay more for web design services. It requires more time and work to develop, build, and launch a big website with advanced capabilities like those needed for e-commerce stores.
In most cases, agencies define the size of your website by the number of pages and the cost scales off of that.

Style

Here is an example; if you’re a luxury jewelry company, you’re probably looking to create a high-end website that conveys not only your brand but also your product or service quality. In comparison, a roofing contractor’s web design may feature a more laidback, yet professional design with a focus on trust.

Custom site layout

Every website starts with a theme or template. Nobody codes a website totally from scratch anymore — that’s way too time-consuming and expensive. A template or theme often gets you 50-60% of the way there, but there’s still tons of customization and coding to get your site looking and functioning how you want it to. The more customization and coding required, the greater the cost. Templates and themes are a major reason you can often build a professional small business website in the $3,000-$6,000 range, instead of $15,000-$20,000 or more as in the past.

No matter what style you’re looking for, from simple to high-end, it’s critical that your web designer creates a website that captures your brand, as well as provides an intuitive and seamless experience for your visitors or shoppers.

Custom images & graphics

Fancy images and graphics can give your site a one-of-a-kind look, but it comes at a price. In addition, sophisticated visual effects often require special editing software and/or custom graphic design work. I can tell you from experience graphic design takes time.

Number of design revisions

Most website projects start with an initial concept design (kind of like a rough draft), then it’s common to have 1 or 2 rounds of design revisions to get everything just right. Technically, a website designer can offer as many rounds of design revisions as they want. But keep in mind, every design iteration adds to the overall cost of the project. In my experience, 99% of the time 1-2 rounds of design revisions are more than enough.

Copywriting

Another big factor that affects your web design cost is copywriting.
Depending on your digital marketing strategy, as well as budget, you may use your web agencies copywriting services for your webpages. If you do, it’s wise to partner with a full-service digital marketing agency like Lone Bird Studio that offers more than just web design services.

What is optimized copy? It’s content that targets keywords relevant to your business and target audience. A full-service agency can provide optimized copy that captures your brand, product features, and unique selling points.

While the cost of copywriting varies, you can expect to pay $100 – $300 per webpage. If you’re an ecommerce store, product pages generally cost around $60 per page — ecommerce product pages have a lower price due to their shorter word count.

Custom Features

Sometimes you can find a plugin that will provide the exact functionality you want right out of the box (i.e. image carousel, membership portal, payment calculator, etc.). Other times, getting your site to do what you want requires significant trial/error and testing. In a perfect world, everything would be plug-and-play and work perfectly the first time — but sadly, that’s rarely the case. A fair amount of debugging and testing could be required to get everything working.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

If you’re partnering with a full-service digital marketing company like Lone Bird Studio for your web design, they probably offer SEO services, which you can bundle with web design. The right keywords can make a tremendous difference in your company’s weekly sales and leads. Plus, it’s a key factor to rank in search results. Proper optimization helps your web design budget do more for your business in both the short and long-term.

What does SEO cost? Bundling web design with SEO can increase your web design costs by $2000. The price for this service generally scales off the number of keywords targeted.

Ongoing Website Updates, Upgrades, Maintenance & Licenses

Once your website launches, your work’s not done. Just like buying a house, you’ll need to invest time, effort and money to maintain it.
For example, you’ll have annual hosting & maintenance fees and possibly annual licensing fees for premium plugins and services.
It’s likely you’ll purchase new images as you upgrade and expand your site.

Your site also requires ongoing technical maintenance to install updates and security patches to WordPress core files and WordPress plugins to protect your site from being hacked. Yes, even small business sites are targets for hackers.
If you’re comfortable performing these updates yourself, great. But sometimes routine updates break your site, so you need to know what to do if/when this happens.

You also need an offsite backup system so your website can quickly be restored in the event of catastrophic hardware or software failure (or user error!) crashing your site. Sorry to alarm you, but these things really do happen.

If you prefer not to deal with the messy, behind-the-scenes technical upkeep of your site, you can purchase a website maintenance plan for $40-$300/month depending on the services you need. We recommend www.webguy.tech and their excellent WordPress service

I hope this was helpful in getting an idea of web design pricing and how much a small business website can cost.

Marketing Your Business on The Internet

Marketing Your Business on The InternetThe Internet has evolved quite a bit over the years as have the way people use it. The biggest change is in what I call the “Store Front”. Store fronts used to belong to larger businesses now everybody has a “Store Front”. The Internet has become the great equalizer and has leveled the playing field between small and big business. It has also changed the way we market our businesses.

Pre Internet, we marketed our businesses through print, direct mail, radio, newspaper and the Yellow Pages. In the day, only larger companies had the budgets that could really reach large markets. Now the Internet is here and that has changed things you no longer need the big budgets to reach masses of people. Now we do this by marketing your business on the Internet.

The Internet and its users are now ever evolving. Google has replaced the Yellow Pages. And as we did back in the YP days, everybody competes for a page position. Social networking has taken off and opened new channels that include music, images and video all within the ability of a small business. Now with the development of mobile devises a whole new age has arrived, the Internet of Things.

This new generation of the web is called the IoT (Internet of Things) because it will include everything from desktops to kitchen appliances. Just about everything will connect to the Internet and offer yet newer ways to collect data and reach out with your marketing.

Marketing your business on the Internet – Web marketing then and now

For a long time, the most accepted way to get traffic to your website was what is called the “First Page “ approach. You would optimize your website to have the highest listing for your category on the search engines. This spawned several of its own industries Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Search Engine Marketing (SEM). Lots of time energy and money was spent optimizing a website for a page position but that was ok at the time. It worked for a while when the web was still new though many SEO companies still pursue this method it really died years ago. The ‘First Page’ approach has been replaced by the more sensible method known as “Driving”.

Enter mobile

Mobil was a big game changer and really kicked the ” I want it now and I want it fast” into gear. People are now shopping or connecting from their devices and responding to ads in their cars, or from their couch to web addresses or businesses seen on TV or a blog post or off the side of a truck.

This is the result of the move into the current more effective method of marketing your business on the Internet called Driving method of web marketing. Meaning you use a mix of traditional and digital channels to “Drive” visitors to your website. And, as a side note (kind of funny too) is that older marketing techniques are now new again.

What is driving

“Driving” is using a broader number of channels to reach people where they are and drive them to your website. These channels include a mix of traditional means like radio advertising, newspaper, networking, flyers, direct mail combined with new digital and social networking. These of course would include social networks like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn to name a few but also email, electronic newsletters and my personal favorite the sales funnel.

Enter the Internet of Things

The IoT really ups the game. People will have the ability to visit your site from a screen on a refrigerator door or be able to order soap from a screen on a washing machine. This is going to affect the way websites are designed and speed the transformation from website to web application. New tools and technologies coming will change the way we use web applications to advertise or offer new products or services.
Personal assistants will add dramatically to this change with voice searches and how they affect your web marketing. This evolution brings new options to add to your Driving mix: web-based applications and the voice search.

What are web applications

Web apps are like phone apps except they reside on the web instead of a phone. They are considered the Silver Bullet of IoT because they will work on just about any device. You can even put your icon on mobile device screens like traditional phone apps. The advantages are many, less expensive to development, less expensive to maintain compared to traditional phone apps and way easier to distribute. The other big advantage is the plethora of uses from points and reward programs to build customer loyalty through custom applications for your product or service. Many apps you already use daily like Google, Instagram, Netflix, Dropbox, Facebook. You already see specialty apps for house cleaners, to order pizza and babysitters. Web apps are more adaptable, usable, and scalable than the websites we are used to now. Web apps are out of the realm of the do-it-yourselfer and you will need a professional

Alexa find a web marketer near me

Personal assistants have brought us voice searches with the big four being Google, Alexa, Siri, and Cortina. Voice searches have become the fastest growing method of searching the Internet since the Internet itself and spawned a new specialty the VUI (Voice User Interface). Voice searching leads to the next big internet trend … wearables. Wearables are items like watches, glasses, and the new bio computers. All will be voice commanded.
Because voice searches will also become the leading way to deliver content optimizing your website or blog is important and different than the old on-page optimization we are used to. You can navigate through setting these up yourself, but it may be better to leave this to a VUI specialist.

What is next

Wearables. They are already beginning, soon people will have a keypad as part of their shirt sleeve. How do you think that affect marketing your business on the internet? We are just a few years away from implants and after that bio computers that attach to the body one way or another. These are almost ready for market. Now that is scary.

Voice Search Optimization Basics for Web Marketing

Some Voice Search Optimization Basics. Half of all searches are voice-based, time to upgrade your website. Web Marketing Asheville NCHere are some Voice Search Optimization Basics for Web Marketing. Because nearly half of all Internet searches are voice-based, it’s probably time to upgrade your website, in order to help achieve top SEO placement. Just as the world shifted from pay phones to smart phones, the rules of the Internet are shifting as well. The days of simply using meta tags and “liking” a few social media posts to snag top spots in Google searches are gone. If you want your business to hit the top spots, you need to up your web marketing game. Voice search optimization is going to be a key element in 2020 for successful marketing. Here’s are some key elements to incorporate into your web marketing:

Natural language is the key. We used to sit at a desktop and type in disjointed key words to initiate a search. Now we use smart assistants like Siri and OK Google for voice-based searches, and we simply talk to them. Where is a post office near me? What’s the weather in Asheville? This is a huge change in terms of SEO management, especially when coupled with trends like increased smart speakers, wearable devices (such as Fitbit) and other internet-based things like smart TVs, toys, appliances and even smart homes. What this boils down to is that because search engine parameters have changed to embrace the way we speak to the Internet, it’s time to rethink SEO for your business.

Long-tailed snippets. Just as in the past SEO used the basic key words for searches, now long-tailed snippets help you hit Google’s Featured Snippets. It’s the same principle as the old meta tags, but with more lingo, which makes sense because it runs on smart devices or assistants (like Alexa). When we ask for something in ordinary vernacular, the responses will be long-tailed as well. Your SEO should reflect these changes.

Keep what works. Like old SEO basics, there are some tried and true approaches that help your Voice Engine Optimization (VEO). They include optimizing your content and ensuring your website loads quickly and keeping all listings for your business (such as Angie’s List) up to date. Consider hiring a professional blogger and if you’re an expert at something, showcase it with webinars. Your company should also have an active, professional social media presence. For all these ideas, keep the mood professional but friendly.

Voice searching with smart devices isn’t a fad that will pass in time. Smart technology is here to stay, and will only increase. Trends indicate that 2020 will be the Year of Voice Searches. Therefore, web optimization for voice-based searches is the new SEO basis, and can help you stay at the top of search results. Compare these Voice Search Optimization Basics to your website.

Web Marketing and The Impact of Voice Searches

Web Marketing and The Impact of Voice Searches
Personal assistants change everything. let’s look at web marketing and the impact of voice searches.

We take online searches for granted. Things are changing, though, from hand-typing in searches to using voice searches on mobile devices. If we need to know something, we simply ask Alexa, Ask Google, Siri or Cortina. Those voice platforms not only answer client queries but anticipate the end of the question with autofill options based on previous searches. Over 90% of Americans have a smart phone and most of them use smart speakers daily. As a business owner, you need your company to be the one that is included in Google’s search snippets. Otherwise, your company is going to be left behind in the dust of your competitors.

Voice searches are more conversational than traditional keyboard searches. We used to go to the computer and type in “Weather Asheville, NC” and scroll through options that popped up. Now we pick up our phone and say, “Okay Google, what’s the weather in Asheville, NC?” We’ve gone from a minimum key word entry to long-tailed phrases or complete sentences. Digital marketing now specializes in not just search engine optimization, but voice search optimization, where semantics matters. Voice-enabled speakers, such as Alexa and Siri already are used by an overwhelming majority of consumers and will take this platform to the next level. Will your company be able to handle the next generation of voice-friendly marketing? To ignore this trend is to ignore customers who’d like to hear about your upcoming sales or promotions.

Voice-friendly devices are the way of the future. We use our smart phones, obviously, but smart home (smart office) devices such as voice-activated thermostats, televisions, Alexa, kitchen appliances and vacuum cleaners can open a whole new world of business opportunities for you. Use of smart devices is on the rise, and therefore voice-based searches are rising. It makes sense to revamp your company’s content now to include up-to-date key phrases.

To grab more voice queries, your web content should reflect natural language patterns and optimize pages with long-tailed keywords. It’s part of the trend toward screenless apps, and can really help a brick and mortar business, especially when coupled with geo-mapping technology.

To stay alive, you cannot ignore this when it come to your web marketing and the impact of voice searches.

What the Internet of Things is and How it Impacts Business

Internet of thingsWhat is the Internet of things, anyway? We’re glad you asked. It’s something you probably take for granted and don’t even realize it. When you get a text that notifies you of a package delivery on your i-Phone, listen with wireless earbuds to Pandora, ask Alexa a question, or check your Fitbit, you’ve dabbled in the Internet of Things, or IoT for short. Any device that has a sensor or a connection to the internet is part of the IoT. Virtually everything has some kind of internet connection these days, and that means businesses should keep up to date on changes in society that IoT creates. To ignore these trends would outdate your business, and that translates to decreased profitability.

How does IoT affect our behavior? Technology has made life easier and the digital age is here to stay. For example, instead of reaching for a dictionary, we ask Siri for a definition or pronunciation. As a business owner, seeing how these changes in technology have affected society (and how money is spent) is the first step. The second one is understanding how to create a digital marketing strategy that will grab consumers’ attention. Because potential clients have so many resources at their fingertips now, being able to find new ways to communicate with them and answering questions they may have, creates a connection with them. This connection is part of branding your business.

IoT itself is changing how client input is processed by those very devices. For example, a Google search a decade ago would’ve included basic key words only. Today, we ask whole questions to Siri. It’s more humanized. Searches now run not just on key words, but take into account our natural language patterns. Most everyone has noticed how they can be speaking of something casually, and suddenly advertisements for that very thing pop up on their social threads. There’s a fine line between gathering information for business analysis, and perceived invasion of privacy.

Taking IoT into account with web design (or upgrade) is key, because conveying a sense of trust between your company and clients is essential, even as business activities interact more directly with internet-connected devices. A secure website that looks good and loads quickly on laptops as well as smart devices is the standard. Adding a protocol to your business that, where applicable, includes geofencing/geomapping as well as external factors such as weather or traffic information could give you a serious edge in sales. For example, imagine a company that sells rain jackets and umbrellas being able to advertise those things on smart phones when rain is forecasted, and apply the concept to your company.

Most everyone has a smart phone. Tweaking your company’s website to embrace mobile IoT technology is essential. We can help with that. Click here for more information.

Using The SNAP Sales Technique to Understand Your Prospects

Sales techniques, web marketingFinding that sweet spot in sales where you really communicate with your customers, and thereby increase sales, can be tricky because everyone seems to be pressed for time. Face it, even you may feel overwhelmed. One method for streamlining your sales approach is the SNAP method, which is a handy acronym to help you be more effective. The SNAP Technique basically brings the salesman to the prospect’s level.

S. Keep it Simple. Because owners and managers are very busy, whatever you’re selling needs to be easy for them to change to or adopt. After all, who has time for a complex training system for a new program when one with intuitive pathways might be available? If you keep your approach simple, it’ll be received better and/or faster.

N. Be iNvaluable. Life in the business world is really about relationships. You should be the invaluable expert your clients can’t do without. Establishing trust does take time and energy, but once you have become the person who knows (or can find) all the answers, you’ll have greased the money wheels as well.

A. Align. What are the core beliefs of not only your own company, but your clients’ companies? Any time you can align yourself with those beliefs, people will want to work with you more. It’s not so much about spouting whatever you find on your client’s website, so much as knowing him/her well enough to have something in common. For example, if your client contributes to a local charity, you might let them know in an off-hand way of charities your own business supports.

P. Priorities. Everyone has priorities, whether it’s personal or business needs. If you understand your customers’ proprieties, you can tap into them in ways that will not only help them, but will increase your sales as well. It could be a more efficient office program, or a new product to make their lives better. The point is, you must really know your customers before you can sell something to them.

SNAP methodology is not really about selling. It’s about building relationships effectively. Of course you need to make money, but you don’t need to waste your or your customers’ time. This method is an effective way to think about calls from the perspective of a customer, which will streamline them so you stay on track.

Using SPIN Sales Techniques to Improve Sales

Using SPIN Sales Techniques to Improve SalesThe SPIN sales technique is a system of asking certain categories of questions to improve your sales funnel results. As with any conversation, the quality of the question is the key to success. Wrong questions turn off clients and lose sales. In the SPIN technique, it’s the buyers who do most of the talking. Your job is to build rapport and take notes, so you’ll understand what they really need.

SPIN is an acronym that stands for Situation, Problem, Implication and Need-Payoff questions. It’s a method of categorically asking questions to help ensure more sales.

Situation Questions help you to more clearly understand what your prospects need. Everything that follows is based on this foundation. The more you know about them beforehand, the more precise your questions can be and the more likely you’ll earn the sale. An example of a Situation question might be:

How do you track overall and individual volumes for your sales teams?

Problem Questions help your prospects see that they have a problem or need that you can meet. Think of it as questions that underscore the seriousness of their need, which help motivate them to change. This translates to a sale on your end. An example of a Problem question is:

What’s the biggest problem you’ve faced with implementing new sales programs?

Implementation Questions help clarify issues, thereby helping resolve, in your clients’ minds, that the problem really does need to be fixed. The most powerful sales questions fall in this category. This is where you discuss the effects of their problem before you offer solutions. An example is:

If your CSR training is absent, what does that mean for new reps you hire?

Need-Payoff Questions come after you’ve helped your clients see that their current situation will deteriorate if not addressed. You cannot jump ahead to this category, or you’ll be perceived as being too aggressive, and will lose sales. It’s a way to get the buyer to tell you exactly what they need, what the benefits of your product or service are, which is more positive and doesn’t feel pushy to them. An example of a Need-Payoff question might be:

If you could have a consistent training program that could be utilized as part of an OJT system, how would it help you achieve your target sales goals?

The key to the SPIN sales technique is understanding the kind of questions, and their timing, to help your clients visualize the difference your product or service can give them. Evoking positive emotions is key. Good planning equals good selling. SPIN selling works backwards from traditional sales techniques. Instead of calling to discuss your latest product, first find out what your client needs, and go from there to a solution.

Using the DISC Personality Model to Improve Sales Techniques

Using the DISC Personality Model to Improve Sales TechniquesThe DISC model is a way to analyze four basic personalities, which can help increase your sales records. After all, if you are selling something, it always helps to understand why people act the way they do. DISC is a way to categorize people very quickly into different personalities. Once you know which kind of person you’re dealing with, you can modify how you approach them to ways in which they will respond. In short, you can speak their language. The four DISC categories are below. As you study them, think of yourself. What kind of DISC personality are you? Then think of the customer you need to contact and which DISC category s/he is most likely in, based on what you already know.

D = Dominant. This personality sees themselves as being stronger than the world, which is hostile. They tend to be extroverts who overcome any obstacle in the way of their goals. They love a challenge, are energetic and innovative, and think outside the box. Sometimes they are perceived as being arrogant, insensitive and too aggressive, usually by people who are polar opposites.

I = Influential. These people see the world as a friendly place and see themselves a strong in their environment. They are inspiring, generous and open to the opinions of others. They are usually loved by others but might be seen as shallow or silly on the surface.

S = Stability. Like Influential personalities, Stability people see the world as friendly. However, because they see themselves as weaker than the environment, they don’t like to upset the established system. They feel safe with the status quo, and need encouragement to grow or branch out. Sometimes they are perceived as stubborn and unwilling to change.

C = Conformity. These personalities see the world as hostile, and themselves as weak, which means they don’t think they have much influence and therefore prefer to think inside a well-established box. They are fact-seekers, intelligent and diplomatic. Because they analyze things carefully before committing to change, they can be perceived as very reserved or indecisive.

No one is purely one flavor of the DISC categories, but are instead a blend. You may know someone who loves a challenge and tackles problems with both hands (Dominant), but is also diplomatic and reflective (Conformity). As you can see, the DISC method is a way to analyze yourself as a salesperson, to understand your strengths and weaknesses, as well as a way to see your clients in a new light. If you use the DISC method wisely, you can improve your sales techniques significantly, which will make your customers happier and help your own bottom line.

Ecommerce on WordPress

Ecommerce on WordPressBuilding an effective website for your business is difficult enough, but setting up an ecommerce site can be overwhelming for many aspiring entrepreneurs. It doesn’t have to be, especially when if you build your website with WordPress.

Originally created for blogging, WordPress has become an open-source platform for all kinds of websites. Through the years, developers created plugins and themes that make it possible to turn a WordPress site into an online store. Ecommerce on WordPress offers many benefits.

What’s E-commerce?

Ecommerce (or e-commerce, as it’s sometimes written) is defined as buying or selling products or services through the internet. You can use a computer or a mobile device to conduct your transaction. Buying online requires entry of credit card information or processing the payment through a third party, such as PayPal.

When most people think about e-commerce, they may think of the megastores that sell physical products to retail customers. But e-commerce can also include B2B transactions, services and digital downloads. And e-commerce gets more complex every year.

Ecommerce vs. Traditional Retail

Starting a traditional retail business requires a lot of set-up and investment before you can make a dime. But if you set up an e-commerce website, your store can start selling your goods almost immediately. The costs associated with ecommerce are lower, too. Other advantages of selling through e-commerce include:

• E-commerce overcomes geographical limitations. You can sell to anyone, anywhere. And as you market your website, you expand your customer reach!

• Since customers shop on their devices, you eliminate their travel time and costs. In fact, since everyone’s online, you’re where your customers are spending their time.

• You gain new customers as your search engine visibility increases, which also builds brand awareness. You can even serve niche markets with less hassle.

• It’s easier for your customers to find what they’re looking for on a website. You can provide as much information as you want on your products and even allow comparison shopping.
