Vending Business Marketing With Your Website

The internet has the power of improving business scale and customer base through effective marketing. To build a website for your Planet Antares vending operations, there are certain objectives that need to be considered and incorporated.

A website should serve the following purposes for your vending business:
• Communicate the services and professional expertise of your company to prospective customers.
• Generate traffic and in effect, more sales leads.
• Find a convenient alternative to telephone for the processing of enquiries about customer service and equipment problems.
• Preparation of business proposals, their simplification and modernization, for prospective customers.

The design of the website should be such that the user is able to get their desired information in the first few clicks itself. Unnecessary complication must be avoided at all costs. It is a good idea to use visuals and graphics that are attractive and interesting but not distracting. The user must get what he is looking for without getting frustrated or too much delay.

Remember that your website is a combination of several things. The design should match with the marketing strategies and elements. Other items to be included while designing a website are the company logo, letterhead, brochures, business cards and truck signage. Focus on the creation of a simple, easy to navigate and useful website that keeps as much information “above the fold” as possible.

As they say “content is king”. Your customers will not buy vending machines or products after looking at the website design only. You need to work on providing quality content that has the power of getting and maintaining customer attention as well as encouraging them to place an order.

Some tips for effective content include:
• short paragraphs
• white space on all content pages
• links within text
• precise, to the point style of writing

Lastly, you need to pay attention to the time taken by your website to load on a regular 56 KBPS modem. If it takes a long time, your customers will definitely not visit your website a second time. This means losing out on potential clients to competitors.

Make sure that your website stands out at all times so that it can contribute to the productivity and profitability of your vending business.

Pay careful attention to how long it takes your website to load on a 56KBPS modem. If the site doesn’t load quickly, your prospective customer will disappear and will go looking for your competitor. The aim of your website is to generate more sales leads for your Antares business, this means that your website has to stand out at all times.
