4 Ways to Make Your Business Reachable Wherever You Are
If you’re running a business, you know that missing calls and emails can be the difference between success and losing out on possibly high-profit customers. With that in mind, it’s vital that you - as a business owner - are reachable no matter where you are. The modern world has made running a business more convenient than ever, which means the very nature of communication and reachability has changed. To make sure you never miss a call again (and look the part), here are ways to make your company reachable wherever you are.
Get an Official Address
As almost everyone and their dog runs a business nowadays, you can’t expect large corporate headquarters to pop up in the middle of suburbia, but this doesn’t mean your business can’t still have an official address. Some entrepreneurs will use their home address. But, if you want to take it a step further and look more professional, virtual office addresses are a fantastic alternative that makes it easy for investors and customers to send correspondence, make inquiries, and gives you a place to register your business.
Create (and Maintain) A Website
Your company website is your space on the internet that you can do what you like with it, and this is one of the most important things when trying to make yourself reachable. You can include contact details on your website, with email addresses, social media pages, and your virtual business address, so that people can get in touch however they like. You can make the most of social media pages, too. Business Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages are all useful, but you should still balance them with a dedicated website. Services like Google My Business are also beneficial, as you can include as much contact information as possible.
Use a Business Email
The early days of entrepreneurship are often done on your regular computer using your usual email address. This is a convenient way to get started, but you should consider the benefits of a professional email address if you want to maximize your potential. A business email makes your company look more legitimate, and it stops messages from getting lost in the clutter of promotions and offers on your personal email account.
Use Newsletters
Newsletters are a fantastic way for companies to connect with customers, and they make you reachable even if your customers aren’t sure what they want to know. A weekly or monthly update will give readers all the information they need about what your company is doing and what it plans to do. You can use this newsletter to provide offers, such as discounts and deals, or you can use it to announce competitions. If you know your customer base is too busy to keep up with everything you do, a newsletter is an excellent way to round-up everything that has happened in your business (and industry) and highlight the key things they should read.
Within Reach
Reachability is something every entrepreneur must think about if they want to grow their company, and even if they are happy where they are. The more options clients, customers, and investors have for getting in touch with you, the greater the chance of finding success.
