Boosting Your Small Business with QR Codes

In today's fast-paced digital world, small businesses are constantly seeking innovative ways to enhance customer engagement and streamline operations. One such tool that has gained immense popularity is the QR code. Quick Response (QR) codes offer a versatile and efficient way to connect the physical and digital realms. Let's dive into how you can generate a QR code and explore the myriad of ways it can benefit your small business.

What is a QR Code?

A QR code is a type of barcode that can be scanned using a smartphone or QR code reader. It contains information that can be quickly accessed by the user, such as a website URL, contact details, or promotional offers.

I recommend a DYNAMIC QR CODE.

This means you can hop in the back end and edit the link address that the code is sending people to. I like to use Canva or Vistaprint to create these codes as you can have your own account with a list of all of your QR Codes in one place...easy to access, easy to use, easy to maintain!

So...Do you have a QR Code?

The Power of Client Reviews

Client reviews serve as a window into the customer experience. They offer valuable insights into what clients appreciate about your products or services and where improvements may be needed. Positive reviews not only bolster your reputation but also serve as powerful testimonials that can influence potential customers.

Introducing the Feedback Request Template

To harness the potential of client reviews, businesses must actively solicit feedback. One effective way to do this is by using a standardized template. Let's break down the elements of a compelling feedback request template:

Subject: Your Feedback Matters

[Insert Google Review Link]

Thank you very much for your time and continued support.

Why This Template Works

1. Personalized Greeting: Addressing the client by name adds a personal touch, making the request feel more genuine.

2. Gratitude: Expressing gratitude acknowledges the client's contribution and emphasizes the importance of their feedback.

3. Clear Call to Action: Providing a direct link to leave a review streamlines the process for the client, increasing the likelihood of their participation.

4. Reaffirmation of Importance: Reminding clients that their feedback directly impacts the business reinforces the value of their opinion.

As a bonus, Google loves authentic reviews!

Google values reviews because they offer genuine insights, build trust, and help users make informed decisions in a world filled with choices. Your feedback shapes experiences and empowers others to find the best businesses, services, and products.

This means that your Google ranking improves with reviews because they serve as a key indicator of a business's credibility and relevance. Positive reviews signal to Google that a business is trustworthy and provides quality products or services, which can boost its visibility in search results. Additionally, the quantity and recency of reviews contribute to a business's online reputation, influencing its position in local search rankings and enhancing its overall online presence.

Amaryllis Quill Biz Blitz Pitch

I have loved to create since the moment I picked up a crayon and as I grew that skill I

was drawn to the power the Art and Design has to evoke emotion and connect with

people.

I started my journey toward designing websites for local business long before I

learned how to use a web design platform, my journey started when I saw the

profound reaction we have to imagery and through my work within local businesses

saw how that imagery and representation can shape how well a business is

connected to it’s customers.

Most of my working life has been spent behind the counter of a small local business,

I’ve owned them, worked in them, worked with them and now I’m here to promote

them.

I know first hand how hard business owners work, I know how much they love the

work they do and how dedicated they are to their customers and seeing great local

businesses and passionate business owners struggle to be seen because their

website and marketing materials aren't a true reflection of their business is a huge

loss in incredible potential.

I'd like to share a quote by Realist Painter Edward Hopper

"If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint"

How do you tell your community what you do, why and how well you do it, without

using words?

Good design is Artistry

It tells your story, it shows the passion you have for industry and the people you

serve.

Your website design is the visual representation that your community and potential

clients are using to decide if you are the business they will choose.

That’s the power of Design.

Good Design makes sure you are seen and heard

It makes websites easier to use, it makes you look professional, current and

trustworthy, it even effects your SEO, which is how your website talks to browsers

like Google

If you are trying to run your business, serve your customers, network, manage staff,

find new clients, manage your finances... and all of the hats we wear as business

owners... you have to do all of that AND MAKE IT LOOK GOOD!

That's where I come in!

My passion is to create designs that tell your businesses story, to share it with your

community and make sure that you are heard, while you focus on running your

business.

If you are ready to be seen, heard and known for exactly what your business does

and who you are as a trusted, professional and knowledgeable local business, shoot

me an email or visit my website, tell me your story and lets make sure that your

community knows that story too.

I am Jessica Nye owner of Amaryllis Quill I am a website designer and business

media creator...and I make you look good!
