Afnic publishes its guide with "50 tips to building your online presence"

Through 3 key steps – getting started, communicating, taking stock – this guide provides VSE/ SME managers with 50 tips for building and developing their online presence. It’s the ideal tool to stock up on practical, strategic recommendations and boost your business on the Internet.

Being on the Internet is more than just an asset: it’s all-important.

Digital technology is an opportunity not to be missed and a tremendous growth driver for all French SMEs. Afnic has been working to develop the online presence of small French companies since 2014, particularly through its platform Réussir en fr (www.réussir-en.fr)

By multiplying its local initiatives and advice services – facilitating Foliweb workshops, attending a wide range of trade fairs and events dedicated to entrepreneurship, creating the self-assessment and advice tool Réussir avec le web (www.reussiravecleweb.fr) – Afnic has undertaken to support companies in developing their Internet-based business.

This guide is the result of that field work and provides, in 3 distinct phases and 50 tips, an effective method for building a successful online presence, step by step.

1.     Getting onto the Internet

Advice on how to analyze your objectives and the resources at your disposal, identify the priorities and start on a solid basis.

2.    Communicating about your business

Tips for promoting your business and interacting with your customers and suppliers, and thus becoming increasingly visible on the web.

3.    Taking stock of your work

Suggestions for seeing the effectiveness of the work done with figures and customer feedback, and understanding what works in a strategy and what needs to be redefined.

“The 50 tips to building your online presence are the result of the daily dialogue Afnic has been having with web professionals for years, and they are now available to all in an overarching, accessible way. In so doing, the .fr TLD, which Afnic has been tasked with managing, is serving France’s economic development in a more practical fashion than ever before. Because the online presence of craft workers, retailers, VSEs and SMEs is a major challenge for the country’s economy! This guide is an invitation to act on the expertise of hundreds of web hosts and pros who today distribute the .fr. There is necessarily one near you,”  says Pierre BONIS, Afnic’s CEO.
