Get Online... Pass it on

A campaign to empower start-ups and business owners to overcome a fear of having an online presence and empower them to use the internet to become more powerful and prosperous

Startupcommunity.co.uk launches the biggest ever campaign in the UK to help start-ups and existing business owners to overcome their technophobia and to help every business increase sales by having an online presence. The campaign is being endorsed by some of the UK’s most renowned entrepreneurs and aims to reach a tipping point by 2010 – when every business in the UK will have a website and every new start-up will want one!

We aim to offer impartial advice and to educate people about making online marketing work for them (especially during the recession).

Why should you have a website anyway?

  • To be seen and found by more potential customers
  • To sell your products or services
  • To help support your current customers
  • To capture sales leads

What will my website do?

  • It will compliment your current marketing strategy
  • It will inform and educate potential customers on why they need your product/services
  • It increases your availability to potential customers when the office is closed.
  • It enables you to interact with customers by way of online newsletters, polls or surveys
  • It shows that you are prepared to lead the way and increase your exposure in the global marketplace.
  • And lastly, most people expect a business to have a website.
