Cairns Businesses need a proactive  online strategy to survive.

Cairns, Australia.  17 June 2011

Cairns Business Directory can help you reach your customers online.  Cairns businesses are facing difficult times, and need all the help they can get to reach more customers locally and globally.
Increasingly consumers are shopping online, starting with browsing, researching and comparing their purchases, and seeking feedback from friends, review sites and comparison shopping sites.  If your business expects to retain existing customers and attract new prospects, you need to be engaging them online by being visible in search engines and social media. 
Today, around 80% of people search online before looking in the phone book.  This means businesses should budget around 4 times as much money into online marketing as they do for their Yellow Pages entry.  Sadly, few businesses do this: as a result many can't be found online, even when searching for their business name and location.  In the coming digital age, this is business suicide.  These businesses need an online marketing strategy, with local online directory listings as a first step, followed by their own website (which can actually be found on Google) and a wider web presence including social media such as Facebook.  The alternative is business suicide.
Local business directories are a quick and easy step to getting an online presence.  The best known of these are national directories like Truelocal.com, and these are important, but you shouldn't neglect smaller but targetted local business directories like the Cairns Business Directory - inCairns.co.
