New Website Proposal

To build a New Website with the purpose of Building Brand Identity you need several things to make it a success.

The Website

- Domain Name: needs to be memorable and enticing, a name that attracts your target market to click.

- Hosting: needs to be extremely stable so that traffic does not crash it. Also, you need the right kind of hosting so that you aren't in a "shared" server with porn and other sites that can eat up all the bandwidth of the server you're sharing with them.

- Template: when you're in a hurry to get your website done and when you have a limited budget, it's best to start with a template. That way, we can get a head start by having a pre-designed infrastructure that we can customize for your business.

- Responsive Design: more people view the Internet on their smart phones than computers or tablets. Your new site needs to look amazing on cell phones. That goes for your images and videos too. Everything needs to be "Mobile Friendly."

Building Brand Identity

- Logos and Brand Name Graphics: need to be clean, professionally designed and have a comfortable feel to your prospects. You need them to feel "at home" on your site because of the logo and other graphic elements.

- Social Media: The best way to build brand identity by far is through Social Media. But it has to be done right. You can't just put self-serving content out on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc and expect people to be engaged and share. Best practices for social media engagement is to follow the CCCP model. CCCP stands for Content, Content, Content, Pitch. In other words, you put out 3 pieces of interesting and engaging (shareable) content for every post that pitches your brand, your products or services. Social Media Marketing can be very powerful if done correctly or lame and useless if done without thinking of the conversations going on in your prospects heads.

- Press Releases: Done right, press releases can also help build brand identity. A steady stream of press releases does several things.

Traffic: press releases can grab visitors from the big news websites and blogs and bring them to your site.
Credibility: press releases featured on national or global news sites give you the ability to say things like: "As seen on CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox News" or "As seen in the Wall Street Journal" etc. Those statements along with the logos of the news site give your website visitors a feeling of security because you're borrowing Trust and Authority from the big news sites and their logos.
SEO: press releases can help with the Search Engine Optimization for your website. Getting on the first page of Google is a huge deal. Press releases are easier to get on the first page of Google because they already carry "Domain Authority" from the big websites they are on. Google and Bing like to feature NEW results to people searching for solutions you offer. A regular and strategic schedule of press releases can really do a lot to build your brand identity.

There are so many other things that can be done as well: Videos, Contests, Surveys & Polls, "Top 10" blog posts, etc.

And finally, you should have a very strategic Paid Online Advertising plan that includes Google and Facebook. And you need to do it smart.You need to set up Advertising Campaigns that have very concrete objectives. And you need to have tracking code in place so that you can know your results for each campaign by the numbers in your tracking data.

With tracking set up on your ad campaigns, as well as all the other digital assets you publish, you can absolutely know what's working and what isn't working. This allows you to optimize your digital advertising budget to get the best results - the most "bang for your buck".
