Small Businesses: Top 12 Reasons to Use Tipzu
Every small business, whether already in existence or just an idea, needs a home on the web. Tipzu provides you with everything you need to promote your business and increase sales, whether you sell widgets or a service.
Reason #1 - Increase sales
You may not be able to afford a new storefront on Main Street, but you can afford a new website (Tipzu even has a free option). Whether people are shopping online or off, more and more consumers start their purchase with a simple web search. Tizpu can help you appear at the top of those results and provide you with a secure, state of the art shopping cart once they decide to purchase from your store.
Reason #2 - Get more leads
Tipzu comes with powerful modules that will attract leads to your business (such as free offers and incentives to register at your site). You can also get leads from throughout the Tipzu universe -- if you sell surfing equipment, people registered at snorkling or scuba diving sites can learn about your business. More leads means customers.
Reason #3 - Offer free customer service
It's very expensive and time-consuming to handle phone inquiries about your products and services, so a website is a great place to put all of that information. And for those who have more detailed questions, Tipzu provides a spam-proof contact form so your customers can contact you and you can respond at your convenience. You save time and make your customers happier.
Reason #4 - Never close shop, never lose a sale
You and your employees need to sleep, but your website doesn't. Answer questions, take orders, and make money 24/7, every day of the year.
Reason #5 - Sell globally
Tipzu lets you set up shipping for hundreds of countries around the world. Everyone on earth can now become your customer.
Reason #6 - Build credibility
A business without a website raises eyebrows - and loses customers to your online competitors. Tipzu lets you use your own domain name (www.example.com) or use ours for free (www.example.tipzu.com).
Reason #7 - Communicate with your customers
A website is the most cost effective manner to communicate information about your business. And with the built in newsletter service that Tipzu offers, you can let your customers know about new products and special deals at any time. Of course, your Tipzu site comes with free email.
Reason #8 - Build community and customer loyalty
When your small business is on Tipzu, you have access to lots of features that large corporations use -- social networking abilities, profiles of your users, discussion forums, feedback options, and more -- and this interaction helps to build loyalty to your brand and increase your sales.
Reason #9 - Test new products and services
Tipzu lets you try out new marketing approaches and track the results. If you want to launch a new product or service, it's easy to let all your previous customers know.
Reason #10 - Conduct polls
One of the many features at Tipzu is the ability to conduct polls. Curious about what to name a new product? Wonder which color sweater is more popular? Just ask your visitors.
Reason #11 - Learn about your customers
Tipzu provides you with detailed demographic information about the people who browse your site and your customers. You'll learn their geographic location, their gender, age, and more. This information is essential to tailoring your products and services to those who are most likely to become customers.
Reason #12 - Join the Tipzu community
The biggest advantage of joining Tipzu is that you become part of the Tipzu community. That means potential customers will be informed of your site, you'll be able to share advertising with other relevant stores if you wish (for free!), and you can even put your products into the Tipzu database so that thousands of other stores can sell your goods -- at any commission that you set.
Remember, "Procrastination is the #1 Killer of Success."
