Real Value Websites
Your website can offer your visitors many things. It may offer
location, contact and or product information as well as
information regarding how you do business. An Ecommerce site
offers your visitors the opportunity to purchase your products
online. This isn't all your website can do, the possibilities
are endless but here are a few ideas that may make your
website even more valuable.
Consider a video tutorial describing uses of your products or
services. Video is a great medium and the tutorial adds real
value to many products. Video assembly instructions can be a
real time saver for your visitor and may make up for a poor
instruction manual.
Add a forum or E-learning section that allows you to answer
visitor questions regarding the use or application of your
product. Many businesses can take advantage of this type of
communication; it not only establishes you as an expert in
your field but it also transforms your website into the place
to turn to when using your product or services.
Many businesses can use a secure document repository to allow
visitors the opportunity to upload or download necessary
documents. Document management not only saves time but often
saves money as well. This is not only helpful for your
visitors, reducing paper forms and applications can save you
money as well.
A link directory offering links to do-it-yourself websites
that compliment or are related to your product or service can
make your site a valuable resource that generates return
visitors. Showing visitors unique and interesting ways to use
your product can have a positive effect on sales as well as
cement your relationship with that visitor.
Offering your visitors an opportunity to opt-in to your weekly
or monthly newsletter not only bolsters your mailing list but
also provides you with a method to communicate regularly with
your visitors. Be certain to respect opt-out requests, nothing
will diminish the value of your newsletter faster than a
visitor feeling like they are being spammed.
Weekly or monthly online only discounts create immediate value
for your visitors. Advertise the discounts along with your
regular advertising and make your website the place to visit
for genuine value. Be consistent, displaying discounts once or
twice a year has much less chance of boosting visitor
allegiance than offering a regular weekly or monthly discount.
Value added items such as downloadable brochures that describe
ways to get more from your product or service can be
beneficial. You can notify customers at the point of sale or
prior to sale that
important additional information is available on your website.
Maintenance information not found in product manuals can
extend the life of and add value to your product. Visitors to
your website may well become loyal customers.
As you can see, there are many ways to assure that your
website is a "real value website", think about how you can
best serve your visitors and the rest should be easy. |

West Iowa
Community Mental Health Center has a new website
design offering more information and periodic articles.
Our Savior Lutheran Church has a new website design
with several new features and a desktop download coming soon.
New Secure File & Image Management Center added to PPP
Design Website
Many email providers have begun restricting the extensions
allowed on attachments and have restricted the size of
individual emails. Frontier, for example has banned all
attachments with (.exe) and (.dat) extensions along with many
others. Even zipped archives containing files with these
extensions are banned.
The new File & Image Management Center will allow users with
an assigned user name and password to upload or download files
and images with common extensions.
This should make it easier for us to receive files and images
as well as deliver them to you.
If an instance arises where you are having trouble sending or
receiving files or images between you and one of your
suppliers or customers etc., let us know and we will assign a
username and password along with the URL necessary to access
the application. Periodic use of the File & Image Management
Center will be made available as a courtesy to PPP Design
Clients. |
