TIPS

Your website is often the first interaction your potential collectors have with you. What does it say about you? Does it create trust? Does it make visitors want to do business with you?

If your site is a standard brochure-type site with an inward focus, you�re missing an opportunity to build your brand (what you are about).

Instead, create more content that communicates your brand promise. Speak directly to your audience and their wants. Build value and make them want to work with you.
