Website Design: The first step to attracting customers online is to have a well-designed website. Your website should be easy to navigate, mobile-responsive, and visually appealing.

Ensure you personalize your emails so that they don't end up in your customer's spam folder.


Content Marketing: Content marketing offers a unique opportunity to establish your business's authority and build a loyal customer base. Create high-quality blog posts, videos, infographics, or e-books that address your customers' needs and build their trust in your business. Ensure your content is optimized for search engines so potential customers can find it online.


Search Engine Optimization (SEO): SEO involves optimizing your website and content for search engines so that your website ranks higher in search engine results. Optimize your website with relevant keywords, meta descriptions, and alt-tags. Ensure your website is mobile-friendly, has a fast loading speed, and easy to navigate. Invest in quality backlinks, keywords research, and website analytics to track your progress.


In summary


In conclusion, digital marketing is essential for all business owners, and investing in it can provide an excellent Return on Investment (ROI).

A Note From the Author

As a business owner, brand strategist, and graphic designer I run in to questions and ideas every day.

​

As the owner of Norris Design, I started out wanting to solely be a designer, but education changed the way I thought, the way I viewed business and the way I viewed my role in helping other's businesses.  

​

Graphic design will always be my original love, but as I grew in knowledge, I realized the small view of design for the sake of something beautiful was such a disservice to businesses.

​

Businesses needed much more than just graphic design.  They needed to see the bigger picture of their businesses from the perspective of a designer.  Once I realized that branding had a huge role in large businesses that see amazing success but very few small businesses even think about branding or brand strategy, I realized that if I could offer a brand strategy view as a consultant rather than just an order taker graphic designer, I could actually move the needle in their businesses.

​

This is the beginning of where I started to fall in love with business, marketing, branding, brand strategy, consulting and brand building. 

​

It all started with education after college.

I obsessively read articles, listened to podcasts, watched videos, read books, and took classes.  This was to fulfill this desire to be more involved in the businesses side of design rather than just design alone.

​

So, this is why I wright. I appreciate other people's perspective and I hope that one day, mine can help someone else.
