What is the best advice for growing my Cherry Hill service based business? Should I advertise on Yelp? Should I pay for SEO? Does paying for Instagram ads work, and if so, how much does it cost?
If you're a local business owner in Cherry Hill (or anywhere in south jersey) and need more traffic to your website, to your social media profile or simply want to expand your brand in the service of getting more exposure (and more clients) there is no shortage of "expert" advice you can find online.
The truth is, the vast majority of marketing advice for small business owners in NJ - or anywhere else on the web, or in the world is often generic, bland and over simplistic.
Our mission is to collect, curate and publish actionable ideas you can actually use that work wonderfully well - even on a bootstrap budget.
The #1 piece of advice we offer every local entrepreneur, service provider, and NJ business owner is this: Collect and publish your best reviews, ratings, testimonials and client endorsements on your own website. Don't force people to hunt for your reviews on pages where there are tons of other professionals - or places - to pick. (e.g. - it's good to have great reviews on Yelp - and Google - and on your social media pages; It's much BETTER to have those same reviews, ratings and enthusiastic endorsements on your OWN website - on your own brand - and on your own land. (virtual land, but it's your biggest asset either way)
We've created a tiny course that's 100% free - that will show you the easiest way to repurpose your favorite 5 star reviews - your most enthusiastic audience endorsements, your most titillating testimonials and ravishing ratings - and share them with everyone who is searching for more information about you - and your professional services, in the most ethical, transparent and valuable way possible.
(we've also created a series of digital planners you can use to track your reviews, ratings and testimonials, and optimize, organize & accentuate the words your clients and customers are already saying about your business, and your brand.
The course is called "Share the Love" - it's 100% free and it takes less than 15 minutes to finish.
Then, feel free to download the planners and digital calendars - they are also free - we've shared them across many of our online communities - and are super pleased to be able to share them for free - in our OWN south jersey community - with the business owners we know and love - in the service of empowering you to grow your business - and your brand in 2024.
