How to Use a Website to Sell Sell Sell!

One of the things the pandemic and the lockdown have taught us is that being online is important for ALL businesses. So, this week we’re talking about how you can maximise your website to bring sales into your business.

Tshepiso Phaho, the founder and CEO of The Canvas, wrote about how to create a powerful website that can help sell your brand. She says the simplest things, like whether you have your contact details prominently displayed, can determine if a customer buys from you. Questions she recommends business owners ask themselves are:- Who are these “people” that you are meant to be designing for?- What are your objectives? Are you looking to generate leads or sales or just brand awareness?- Are my call-to-actions easy to find and persuasive?

In this week’s newsletter:

- How to get the most out of your business website

- We are giving our Thought Leaders the platform - see what they have to say. 

Stay safe and healthy.
