In the course of running the Business Directory component of the Pinoy Entrepreneurs blog ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]),
we've made certain observations on the manner that Pinoy Entrepreneurs
list their respective businesses. This post is categorized under "[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]",
which would normally mean that this applies only to this blog, but the
nature of the discussion below applies to any business directories,
listings or online yellow pages that the Pinoy Entrepreneurs might join
to further expose their business.
1. Provide the business name. You'll be known by
your business or registered name, in the same way that an individual is
known by his name. Some indicate the product instead of the business
name, which is improper because that space is specifically intended for
the business name. A business name is important to send the message that
you're not a fly-by-night business entity.
2. Provide a contact name and information. Scam
and con artists make sure that their identities are hidden. Maybe except
in large companies where there's a constant change of positions, it's
good to indicate the name behind the product or service. You should not
be afraid to associate your name with the product or service you're
selling.
3. Provide a description.There's a space
specifically provided for a description of the business. Advanced users
have a way of configuring how the final output looks like, but the basic
user could simply type in the description without any fuss. Include a
description, whether a concise or extended. A reader will likely follow
the lead provided by the description. More importantly, the description
will show up in search engines like [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] or [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.],
and will thus increase your chances of appearing in searches. If
clients know your name, then they will go directly to your site.
However, a large chunk of potential clients may not know that your
business even exists. Potential customers search for the service or
product. That's the importance of a good description.
4. Get a website. There are free platforms where
you could start introducing your products and services. If you're
serious in growing your business, however, it's good to have your own
website. The commonly-used platform is [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], although we've [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Let's face it, the internet has greatly affected the world, including the business world.
