Finding Your Business

A successful business needs customers. Where do customers come from? If you offer a product in demand, will customers flock to your door? Not if they do not know that you exist. How do we get their attention? For the sake of argument, we will assume you already have a website. Does a website help? Not if no one knows it is there. It seems a theme is starting here. The more important question seems to be how to be sure people can find your business.

"I exist, therefore I am" is a paraphrased version of a famous statement by the philosopher René Descartes'. The fact that your business exists, however, does not mean it will attract customers. There are many ways to do this, some simple, others not. Think of a business like a planet. Some type of gravity is necessary to attract other objects, like customers.

Luckily, unlike a planet, we can create the gravity for our business. Adept use of social media can draw people to your business. Search engine optimization helps people find your website where they can learn more about your products and services. Local advertising focuses consumer attention on your company. Word of mouth attracts prequalified buyers ready to make a purchase. These are only a few methods that help people find your business.

Think of Where's Waldo. The red and white stripes make Waldo stand out. What will your red and white stripes be?

  • I used to be popular but my Therapist took all my imaginary friends away.
  • Wal-Mart: you go in for cookies and pudding and you come out questioning the fate of the human race.
  • I have a bumper sticker saying "Honk if You Think I'm Sexy" Some days I just stay at a green light until I feel good about myself.
  • I put my bathroom scale in the corner, and it can stay there until it apologizes.
  • A walk in the woods relaxes me. The fact that I am dragging a body is irrelevant.
  • I can't get the cork off my dinner.
  • Sign outside a hammer store: This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill.
  • Is it rude to toss a Xanax in someone's mouth while they are talking?
  • Alcohol should be served in Capri sun pouches. When you can't get the straw in the hole anymore you've had enough.
  • Thank God I don't have to hunt for my food, I don't even know where tacos live.
  • The fact that no one understands you does not mean you are an artist.
