Advertising your business online has quickly become a necessity in modern business. However, its no longer a case of calling up your account rep and placing an ad. Here we explore what's involved in getting your businesses advertising online.
The statistics are overwhelming. The trend has moved away from printed media such as Yellow Pages and Newspapers, and towards the internet.
However, generating work through the internet is not a walk in the park. You can’t ring up you’re advertising rep and place an ad like you did in the past.
Success lies in fully understanding a world of acronyms such as SEO and SEM, embracing social media such as Facebook and Twitter, and building a database of loyal customers and communicating regularly with them via email and SMS campaigns.
To make it easy for tradespeople to get online and start taking work straight away, we have built the online services marketplace: Service Central.
Service Central takes advantage of the latest in online marketing techniques to generate work for tradespeople, and then places that work on our online Jobs Board so that you can pick and choose which jobs you want.
You simply go online to servicecentral.com.au, browse through the jobs board and accept the ones that you want. There’s a limit on how many tradespeople can quote on each job (usually 2 or 3) so if you call them up quickly and provide a fair price, you have a pretty good chance of winning that work.
