First impressions are vital, right? According to several studies, “judgments are formed in a couple of seconds” - 7 seconds to be exact. In this brief period, the other person develops an opinion about you depending on your appearance, body language, attitude, and clothing. These first impressions are typically difficult to alter or undo and can set the tone for the relationship to come.

If you wish for your company to thrive and have a strong business presence, you have to invest in the necessary steps to get it functioning properly from the start. Personal communication is just as vital to a business as money. A bad first impression might lose the confidence of potential employers, consumers, clients, and workers.

Whether a new client is visiting your business for the first time or a hopeful applicant is coming for a job interview, you'll want to show them your business at its best.

After meeting, people will definitely talk about you and your job is to get more people to share the best things about your business. First impressions really matter and we can help you develop a beautiful introduction to your new venture!

Go no further; we are available to complete your task correctly! Here are interesting ways to increase brand visibility and make the best first impression in your business.

1. Make Sure People Can Find You

Your website's homepage might be one of the first things customers see about your company. So be sure to make it shine! People who visit your website and are unable to access even the most basic information can develop negative first impressions. Phone numbers and directions should be visible on every page of your website, and they should be clear and simple to follow. Also, make sure your postcode is recognized by satellite navigation and Google Maps. Otherwise, it may cause a fuss!

2. Make Plans for a Successful Trade Show

Trade exhibitions can be an excellent way to get your company in front of a large number of potential consumers. However, in order to make a good impression on the individuals at your chosen event, you must plan ahead of time. Make your presentation space welcoming. Smile and be willing to talk to everyone who passes by. It never harms to include a few freebies featuring your company's branding. Who doesn’t love a new stress ball or tote bag?

3. Build Your Web Presence

It is critical to have an online presence in the digital age of today. Make sure you appear on all digital platforms with the latest content. Make sure to have active Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages. Also, set up Facebook ads. Increasing brand awareness entails reaching out to more people who have never heard of your business before, and Facebook has various tools to assist you.

Some of the best ad tools include  AdEspresso, SocialPilot, Qwaya, Hootsuite Ads, Facebook Ads Manager.

4. Spend Money on the Reception Area

Your reception area should be representative of your company. It's a fantastic opportunity to impress, and you can convey so many messages within its walls. Installing a brag wall is my personal favorite. Simply displaying the logos of the clients you’ve worked with shows your new customer they matter too, and allows these prospects to realize they've arrived at the proper spot.

5. Research your Client

You should never walk into a meeting unprepared. According to Zach Binder, co-founder and president of Bell + Ivy, before you contact a possible business partner or client, you should conduct preliminary research on them.

"Knowing who they are, what they do, and what they have done in the past will demonstrate that you understand them," Binder adds. "It will also demonstrate to them that you care about this meeting and them as a prospective future partner."

6. Explain How you Solved the Problem

In an age when people are bombarded with information, business owners must cut to the chase if they want to stand out, according to Kevin Leyes, founder, and CEO of Team Leyes.

"Always begin with the problem that your startup solves and the contribution you offer to society," Leyes said. "

7. Show off your Accomplishments and How you Got Them

Partners and clients want to see results, but they also want to know how work is completed, according to Amine Rahal, creator of Little Dragon Media. It's human nature to want to know how to travel from point A to point B, especially when time is money.

"Tell them about your company's passion, the culture you've developed that sets the tone for the work you do, and the goal and vision that drives your results," Rahal advises.

8. Be Genuine and Passionate

If you want a potential customer to like you and want to have a strong business presence express your enthusiasm for the opportunity to work with them.

"New clients want to know that you appreciate them," said Kelley Weaver, CEO of Melrose Public Relations. "Authentic passion demonstrates that you will put in the time and effort to go above and beyond to achieve client pleasure."

9. Mirror the Tone and Body Language of the Client

"Mirroring" is a psychological skill that allows you to gently mimic features of another person's verbal or nonverbal conduct in face-to-face conversations, according to Andy Karuza, CEO of FenSens. To accomplish this, carefully watch and reflect on how the other person communicates and utilizes their body language – and then mirror it back to them.

"If someone is calm and speaking slowly," Karuza explains, "your discourse should be slow and assured. You should be relaxed if someone else is. You do the same if the client wishes to make small conversation."

10. Represent Your Company

Last but not least; give your brand a personal touch. Extend the values you desire associated with your brand by treating prospects and customers with respect. 

Take the effort to collaborate with your employees and coworkers so that you all project a consistent picture to the public. Even if your company consists of only you and a partner, consider how you will handle customer meetings, work assignments, and deliverables.

Don't neglect this crucial step in establishing a sustainable business.

Wrapping Up

These strategies work together to help increase the visibility of an organization and help new firms stand distinct from the crowd. The appropriate methods, attitudes, and effort will pay dividends a thousand times over as you grow your early company into something much bigger.
