Promote your business in County Mayo

One of the most powerful and cost effective ways to promote your business in County Mayo, is to create an online presence or improve your current 'internet profile'.

With an increasing amount of people having access to broadband in County Mayo that are using the internet more in their day to day lives, business advisors are recommending that sole traders, small, and medium sized businesses look to the web for new customers.

However, I feel that some businesses are misinterpreting this advice, and are expecting to run before they can walk, by trying to set up e-commerce and e-businesses in an attempt to attract new trade.

To create an online presence is basically to make yourself visible on the web. This can be done a number of ways:-

• By adding yourself to a web directory
• By advertising on an existing web site
• By using social media like FaceBook, Twitter etc
• By commenting in forums and feedback forms
• By creating a web page
• By writing and building a brochure web site

The idea is for your existing business to be found by web users when searching for your products or services in County Mayo or Ireland. This can lead to new enquiries and leads, and is very different from starting what is essentially a new business on the web from scratch, with no history, backlinks or ranking.

If your business is having difficulty reselling goods in County Mayo, you are not necessarily going to improve matters by expanding this to compete on a global scale against larger businesses, eBay and Hong Kong imports. But, if you have a unique product or service, with much less competition, it is possible to sell online with hard work and promotion from day one.

For those businesses that would like to improve their web presence in County Mayo and either don't know how to go about it or have a limited budget, I have developed a dedicated local business directory called MayoFree.com.

With MayoFree.com you can create your own web page with contact details, an image, an unlimited amount of text and even a Google map. Your business or service can then be found on the web by your customers - all you need is an email address and it is completely free!
