Who We Are?
Tafel Marketing helps local business owners and professionals, primarily by creating and implementing systems that leverages the goodwill and reputation inherent in most good businesses, so they attract and convert more and better qualified; customers, clients and patients.
These new customers in turn, are encouraged to refer similar, equally qualified clients and patients, so that the business can profitably grow at a managed pace.
The cornerstone of Tafel Marketing’s 4R Marketing System, is Reputation. Why? Because, without a good reputation, most if not all of a business’ marketing is wasted. The challenge for businesses today, is that any disgruntled employee or dissatisfied customer can and will post their displeasure online, and this can seriously damage the otherwise good name, of that business.
Here are 3 facts every business today must recognize:
- 72% of Consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations
- Consumers look at 6-10 reviews online before making a decision
- 87% of folks who are referred to a business … go online seeking more information with over half of these seeking reviews to confirm the referral!
Therefore, a key component of every local business’ marketing must contain “Reputation Marketing”, where the business owner is proactive in creating, promoting and managing the company’s reputation online. The best way to start is to know what people are saying about your company
online. Local businesses can do this by obtaining a free Reputation Report by going to: www.YourFreeReputationReport.info
