Top excuses we hear from businesses
1. I don’t have the time to do it
Answer: We can do it for you
2. We can’t afford it right now
Answer: If you want to grow or be in business still in 5 years, “YOU CAN’T AFFORD NOT TO!” the longer you leave it the further your competition could get ahead of you
3. We are downsizing due to a lack of work or I may be shutting down the business soon to work from home
Answer: Then you “MUST” upsize your online presence regardless and Social Media Marketing should be a big part of this
4. I have many larger competitors in my Industry, how could my business possibly keep up online?
Answer: The internet gives you a level playing field, your competitors may outrank you in size and resources but with our help you have the ability to compete if not outrank them online, also many of the larger companies do not see the need for social media marketing or they simply outsource it to companies like us.
5. We have a website already
Answer: It’s no longer just about a website, a website generally just exists online tucked away in its own little corner, we build our clients a huge online presence, not just websites and we work with you to get targeted traffic visiting your online existence
6. I build my own FREE websites
Answer: Google has strict guidelines, the layout and the way the site is built is the most important thing for Google to read your site and rank it well. Hackers easily hijack free sites and email addresses and use them to spam people around the world without you knowing! (I could go on and on…)
7. What makes you better than our existing or any other web-developer
Answer: Many reasons
a) 99% of web-developers are just that, web developers, they have little and/or out-dated knowledge about online marketing and SEO, let alone social media marketing. We are online presence specialists
b) We have our finger on the pulse of Social Media Marketing, we know when Google and Social media networks make changes and we learn what is needed to keep up
c) We can build websites and all of your Social Media Marketing accounts, set them up, get them working for you and then hand you the reigns when you’re ready
d) We offer online video tutorials to teach you how to update and or add your own content to your website, online shop etc…, saving you money, unlike 99.9% of web development companies
e) We practice what we preach!, we are the Directors of a company called Enviro Dynamics IP Ltd, Enviro Dynamics is the owner of multiple unique Solar products. Enviro Dynamics has a HUGE online presence that results in sales all over the world, Alaska, Canada, USA, Japan, Australia, Columbia, Niue, to name a few.
