Monique Truss

Hi, my name is Monique. For the last few years’, my partner and I have been running a successful property portal website called Barbados Property List. A lot of BPL’s success is due to focusing on marketing goals rather than design goals. Spending more time on the business end of barbadospropertylist.com, ensuring our marketing is performing and that we’re generating business for our customers has helped us grow into a profitable business. Building on what we’ve learned on the Barbados Property List project, we are now offering the same services to everyone else via WebShop.bb.

It’s relatively easy to design and build websites these days, but generating business from them, is another story… There are literally hundreds of millions of websites out there on the internet, with thousands of new sites created every second of every day. The little-old Caribbean is no exception and in recent years, there has been a steady increase in Caribbean websites and online businesses. This creates a huge marketing challenge. Unless you have an online marketing strategy in place, the chances of anyone seeing your site and using it regularly are very, very remote! Which is why it amazes me that I regularly still see people designing and building websites and then expecting to get visitors from Google once the site is launched. This won’t happen. At the Web Shop, we push marketing ahead of design, that way our clients get the online business they need from the very first day of launch.
