\"\"In most industries, establishing credibility is extremely important. Unfortunately, in most cases, a salesman or a website only have a few short minutes to prove they\u2019re worthy of more thought.<\/p>\n

If you stop and think about it for a moment, you\u2019ll realize just how important credibility is. Let\u2019s say you want to take a vacation to Hawaii for a special event. This special event sold out of tickets in less than 24 hours last time, and you didn\u2019t get to go. In addition, you have to book a hotel, figure out food and last-minute details, all kinds of things.<\/p>\n

You decide since you missed out last year that you\u2019re going to hire a company to help you this year, because the company guarantees tickets and a nice hotel room. But which one are you going to choose \u2013 the one with a website that is polished with a logo you\u2019ve seen before, or a less-expensive website that is thrown together and ragged around the edges? Even if the more expensive website is, well, more expensive, they\u2019re more credible \u2013 and most people will go with them.<\/p>\n

Knowing that, that means you have a lot of work to do if you\u2019re just entering the market. You have to build your reputation, and build it fast. No one\u2019s going to question what FedEx is doing, but they are going to question you. Therefore, pump information into your website and into the market that does the things you do.<\/p>\n

And remember to keep it personal. Your website should have an informal, but professional tone to its blog and other resources. Your information should be comprehensive and self-explanatory, but not stuffy. People should get a feel for the \u201cpersonality\u201d of your company \u2013 and a feel for your personality, too.<\/p>\n

And most importantly \u2013 market you. Don\u2019t market your website. You\u2019re not \u201cDan\u2019s Great Adventures in Europe,\u201d you\u2019re Dan, the experienced, skilled OWNER of \u201cDan\u2019s Great Adventures.\u201d<\/p>\n
