Web marketing in Albuquerque is unique to say the least. In New Mexico, traditional marketing techniques can be thrown out the window. If you are trying to maintain relationships with local clients through your website, you have to approach it like you would a business networking meeting or even a party or gathering of friends.
1. Keep in touch with your clients both by email and phone. For some reason, many Albuquerque web marketing clients need hand holding and sometimes even make follow up phone calls to make sure that emails went through. The internet is much newer to New Mexico, so stay patient!
2. Utilize social media such as Facebook and Twitter to get your message out, even if it’s just a change to your web design or an additional information page.
3. Use your blog! If your web design was not set up with WordPress blogging software, then create a free blog at WordPress.com, Blogger.com or Typepad. We can’t overstate the importance of making daily blog entries about your business, or relegate the job to someone who can.
