What is commercial design? Any what can you as a product business owner learn from it. So much! This week's guest, Lucianne Soley, of Soley Creative Design Studio explains it so much better than me, but it is all about making sure that everything that you produce visually has a purpose and functions well. So is your email design the best it can be? Can you improve the design and functionality of your website to make it easier for people to use - and by extension buy more? It's a fascinating topic, and one we have not covered before. I am sure you will be inspired. Plus as an extra treat Lucianne also shares some valuable insights into customer profiles and behaviours learnt from her years of experience supporting major household brand names, and how consumers behave during a recession.

20-50% of all purchasing decisions come from word-of-mouth. For Vlad Magdalin (Co-Founder & CEO of Webflow), it was their biggest driver of growth. At first, it was a tricky way to grow because “many designers wanted to keep Webflow as a secret weapon” — but once he was able to get designers to start talking to each other about the website builder they were using, more and more customers started coming in. Encouraging word-of-mouth is crucial and can be done in multiple ways: → Asking for ratings/reviews → Creating a referral program → Promoting user-generated content on social media While these aren’t the only ways, they’re certainly some of the most effective. Thanks again to Vlad for coming on The Room Podcast — if you want to hear more about the story behind one of the most successful website-building platforms to date, I’ll leave a link to the full episode in the comments.

Imagine this: You’ve put months of effort into building the perfect website, only to forget about it for months. Then, suddenly, links are broken, content is outdated, and potential clients are clicking away. Jess Freeman, web design expert, reminds us that websites need regular check-ups, just like your car or even your business strategy. “Please don’t just build it and leave it,” Jess urges, explaining how quickly things like broken links or outdated features can derail your site. A simple quarterly review could save you time and headaches—and potentially keep clients from hitting that back button. In the latest episode of Process to Profit, Jess shares her top tips for keeping your site functional and effective. From using free tools to check for broken links to ensuring every page is still relevant, these are easy, actionable steps you can implement today.

Does your website help you sell more homes? This week on The Home Builder Digital Marketing Podcast, Kevin Weitzel and I welcome Dennis O'Neil, the President of ONeil Interactive. Dennis has spent many years helping builders create and improve their website performance, and we had a terrific discussion about the process of creating effective homebuilder websites. Some favorite quotes from Dennis: "The website is never finished. It is not. Customer expectations don't stop getting bigger because you press the launch button on your website. They're constantly looking for something different, and there are better ways to do things. Sometimes there's a better way to do things because we learn something different about consumer behavior, or there's a better way to do things because consumers have been trained by a popular behavior that this is the way things are supposed to happen, and we need to be able to accommodate that workflow." "We try to encourage them to think long term. You know, we talk about lots of ideas and a good percentage of ideas can't make it into, you know, what we call launch version. There are a lot of things that builders have that are on the wish list. A lot of things that builders would like to do." "We also encourage them not to try to do everything all at one time, even though that we could do everything for them at one time. Most of the time their business processes need to change or be altered to even be able to accommodate some of the things that they want to do, and we recommend they do. Trying to do all of that at once is normally a recipe for failure." Listen today at BuilderMarketingPodcast-dot-com! #bluetangerine #newhomesales #homebuildermarketing
