So, wix website builder is best for your business? π Some notes on Wix.
β
Drag and drop interface, easy to use
β If we`re being honest (always), it`s our least favourite web builder due to limitations.
Here are some pros and cons, so you can make an informed decision if you`re in the `need a fresh website phase`.
ππΌ Wix`s drag-and-drop editor allows anyone to create a professional-looking website without touching a line of code.
ππΌ Wix`s App Market provides a range of add-ons and integrations, which can extend your website`s functionality to an extent.
ππΌ Wix`s Artificial Design Intelligence (ADI) feature automatically designs your website based on your preferences, but without any ability to customise the output.
ππΌ Lack of flexibility and no option to change templates
ππΌ Want to move away from Wix? Computer says no. You can`t transfer Wix sites.
ππΌ No external third-party apps or plugins. This isn`t such a big deal if you`re a service provider or using Wix as a blog, but for businesses that need a commerce function, Wix won`t be the best option for you.

Whether your brand`s marketing is successful or not really does come down to a few factors, including if you really, REALLY, r-e-a-l-l-y know your target customer.
How to find them, exactly? π Head to our blog to find out. Just look for `HoS Goss` (yes, we`re very clever and punny).

Try and talk to everyone, and you`ll REALLY talk to no-one.
Sure, you might sell a high-end electrical toothbrush that really CAN be used by children and adults aged 14 - 100. BUT who in the household is typically buying these kinds of products? Who are the hygiene decision-makers? Who is most invested in the household`s overall health?
Your end user and target customer for marketing can often be differentiated.
Don`t be afraid to hone in on your ideal target market whose problem you`re trying to solve or life you`re trying to make easier.
Here`s your reminder to use any Christmas/New Year business downtime to PLAN, PLAN, PLAN.

Social media should be.. SOCIAL.
Your audience are savvy.
They donβt mind being sold to when itβs done in the right way. Overall though, your content and message needs to be conversational, helpful, informative, engaging and social.
Hammer your audience with nothing but product info, sales, limited-time offers, upsells, downsells, or any kind of sell - and you`ll become white noise in the scroll. Or they`ll just unfollow.
Offer education, value, humour, relatability, a peek behind the curtain into your business and social proof. Then pepper in the sales-y stuff βοΈ
