Editor's Corner
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear subscriber,
Welcome to Bizland.com Express - our weekly newsletter devoted
to the small business community. We’ve received a lot of feedback
from our readers requesting information on creating a more
interactive site. This week’s issue provides several tips for
developing your web presence in order to gain a captive and
interactive audience.
It’s difficult to get your business message across in its entirety
on your home page, but how can you encourage your customers to
click deeper into your site? Integrate tools and features that
create a more interactive web site environment. Start by enhancing
your site’s navigation with our QuickLinks tool. To create some
buzz on your site conduct a poll using our Poll Taker plug-in.
Engage your visitors, while learning more about them.
What creative features and tools do you use to create a "sticky"
site? Have you ever used a poll to learn more about your customers
or to gather marketing data? Share your ideas and successes at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Yours truly,
Ravi Agarwal
Founder & Chairman

Site of the Week: Killer Bee Racing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Killer Bee Racing web site, a Canadian business that offers
parts for radio control cars, is an excellent example of how a
site can interact with its visitors. To start with, the site is
full of ways for customers to contact the business directly in
order to give their input. The home page includes a useful poll,
which allows customers to choose the next new product to be sold
on the site. Email and instant messaging are also available on
Killer Bee Racing. Visitors can quickly submit their email for
entry into the "You win, you choose" contest and anyone who adds
their name to an email list at Killer Bee Racing receives offers,
updates and rebates.
