This way, visitors to your site can immediately see what's new. Promoting your website Your website may be expertly designed and contain a wealth of information, but if you don't promote it well, it will be difficult to establish your online presence. The following tips will help you to promote your website both on and offline: - Make sure all of your written and promotional materials, including letters, memos, brochures, advertisements, newsletters, fax coversheets, business cards, and so forth, all contain your website and email address. If designed and marketed properly, your website can be an important and effective tool for promoting your business.
