Business to Business electronic transactions are just one of the under used profit centers that local service and retail businesses are overlooking.

Ecommerce services are a growing field, you may not recognize the vast array of options that your business has to offer.

It can be as simple as adding a shopping cart system to your website, or a fully customized ecommerce marketing system that only deals with business to business customers.

You can find a complete marketing solution that is totally unique to your business.

Imagine your company growing both sales and reputation in your region, nationally and perhaps internationally. Opportunity’s that mean more sales, more stability and increased longevity for your product lines that you provide.

It may not be typical for a local business to have a regional and national business, yet during this time of expansion, the businesses that understand b2b ecommerce and the more traditional web ecommerce will have the greater chances to expand and increase markets and market share that simply was not possible only a few years ago.

The day is busy, and there are just so many things that Bob has to get done before he goes home.

He knows that he needs to stop by his local clothing store to get ready for his new promotion, but some how he never finds the time.

Actually Bob doesn’t know whats going on at the store that he prefers to do business with, he only stops by every few months and it really has been a while since he has dropped by.

What was the name of the guy I got my last sport coat from?  Was it Ted, maybe it was Bill, I really should stop by.

On his way home he notices a little sign on a shop he has never been too, it says Sport Coat Sale so Bob stops by and looks through the racks and settles for a coat, just because he is short on time, and really it doesn’t matter where you do business, they are all the same.

Your his favorite store but you didn’t get the business

Scenes like this play out on a daily basis, its really hard to identify how much business is lost, not because the person got bad service, or was unhappy buying from you.

But it hasn’t been know as a good place for small business owners to get attention of customers.

With the uncertainly and major malls closing their doors after decades of success, the Kansas City small business community is enduring a rough and tumble existence.

Most parts of the metro are growing and many small business owners are struggling to get and keep the attention of their customers.

Businesses from Lenexa, Overland Park, Lee’s Summit, Kansas City North are taking time to examine how to profitably expand their business while maintaining their current customers.

Even businesses in established shopping areas like Independence Center, Zona Rosa, and The Legends at Village West are competing with established business to get their share of customers and business success.

With more and more shoppers looking online before they head out to purchase even small items, the importance of keeping your company at the top of your customers shopping list is becoming more important than ever before.

Fortunately local retail and service businesses are learning about the need to expand their presence to include the internet.

Even with the best of intentions, companies are finding that pretty websites are often just gathering electron dust and seldom generate sales, or retain clients.

It’s Not your Fault

Marketing folks have always thought of the info super highway as a place to get customers from far off places, and it is a great tool for a worldwide presence.

However there is a new breed of business consultants that understand how to create a successful local presence, and build in customer loyalty into the mix.

Effective Marketing Kansas City uses the skills that were developed for national and international marketing, and refined the process to attract and retain local customers for local retail and service business.

I’ve developed a 12 point program that uses the power of the internet to create marketing plans that help local business to find success that wasn’t even available just a few short years ago.

With the combination of social media, such as Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and other platforms local business can take advantage of targeting local shoppers with news and information about your company.

This is just one spoke on the marketing wheel that brings you more customers and holds on to your current customers.
