A Choice - part 2

Yesterday, I blogged about choices. Another thing I’ve found lately is that people won’t list in an online directory or advertise on a site if there are other sites that could be considered competitors.

Think about it, if a customer comes to an online directory looking for your type of business, wouldn’t it be better to be listed there to give the customers the choice of choosing you instead of not being there at all?

If you run a business such as web design or graphic design, most people are advised to get at least 3 quotes before they proceed. If a busy business owner is pressed for time and can find three web or graphic designers in one place, then they are more likely to contact each one for a quote, and then stop looking around.

Customers like a choice. Make sure you are part of that choice by listing your business where your customers are likely to be, and don’t worry about any competition that might be there too.
