Kitsap Website Designed to Also Help Local Business

Most of you know that looking for something on the web can turn a quick minute into hours. Not a surprise when you'll be searching over 9,000,000,000 web pages.

How do you make your products and business stand out among 9 billion web pages?

A website catering to a localized area is one of your stronger options. That's the concept behind our website, AroundKitsap.com where this approach of consolidating small businesses into one arena will compete with the big chain stores.

As a small business owner, you know most of your advantages over large business - unique products and services, superb product knowledge, great service and you can easily bend to your customer's needs. It's not price that dictates the business, it's your customer’s smile.

But how do you compete with the big business dollars spent on advertising to get new customers? Word of mouth is your best advertiser, no brainer for that one. But what if your business is new, has reached a plateau, or you want to expand?

Bind Efforts

The answer? Bind your efforts with other small businesses.

That's one of the areas where AroundKitsap.com can help. It's here to compliment your existing marketing efforts by having an online shopping auction that local residents can go to whenever they're looking on the internet for a local gift, service, or whatever. By having one place to go, the customer doesn't have to remember your “one out of over 7,000,000 website names” every time they want your product.

It's a bit like having a physical mall, but better for you. You don't have to be available during set hours, especially helpful for businesses who make their own products, who need to be on location or who want to take orders 24x7. It’s also great if you want to have flexible working hours because of family life, or if you want a part time 'retirement' business.

Around Kitsap has the added bonus of seller ratings, so if you give a high level of customer service or your product is amazing, the rating system helps establish a solid trust level with new and existing customers.

Online Marketing Help

AroundKitsap.com takes the responsibility of website maintenance and design. Automatic e-mails are sent to buyers and sellers when a sale takes place, so you don't have to sit by the phone to keep everyone informed. Around Kitsap also does upper level marketing, including online, so you don't have to learn about search engine optimization, Google Adwords, etc.

You can also take advantage of the free business directory listing and if your business has activities (classes, workshops, sales, etc), they can be listed on the events calendar for free.

There's an online group starting up with information that is helpful for local Kitsap businesses and for support where you can exchange product feedback, marketing ideas, even get cheers for a job well done (it helps to stay encouraged).

Basically, you can start listing your products on Around Kitsap within minutes.

Your Baby

Always keep in mind that although Around Kitsap takes on a lot of hats, you still have the responsibility of listing and delivering your excellent products or services, arranging payments and doing individual marketing. After all, it's your business, it's your baby and you do want your baby to look like you.

Your success is our success!
