20 Ways to Improve Your Website
Kirsty Bisset - STIR - 9 February 2018 -
The first Business Club session of 2018 will take place on Friday, the 9th of February 2018 - and we are kicking off with a bang. Digital guru Kirsty Bisset from STIR will explore 20 Ways to Improve Your Website.
In today’s ever-changing landscape, a business website has become an important marketing tool. Your website has the potential to be the most powerful asset and the centrepiece of your marketing efforts. Rapidly changing technology can make your website feel old and outdated. Whilst sometimes a redesign might be ideal, you may not have the time or money to invest in such a large project. If you're one of those people that fall into this category, don’t miss this session on 20 Ways to Improve your Website. Takeaway: Your website validates or invalidates your business. 8 out of 10 people decide whether or not to do business with someone based their website. The session will be facilitated by Kirsty Bisset, an expert in the digital space and the owner of STIR, a digital marketing agency. STIR was launched on the back of Radio 702’s R1000 Challenge - a fascinating experiment in which Pavlo Phitidis, from Aurik Business Accelerator, and 702’s Bruce Whitfield each attempted to open a business and turn a profit with just R1000 in start-up capital. In the first month of operation, STIR took on the marketing of six of Aurik’s incubator clients and then began consulting to brands such as MTN, Anglo-American and Rich’s, turning over R54 000 in that first month. STIR has grown year-on-year into a formidable digital marketing agency, working with the likes of Edcon, SA Natural Products, Ultra Liquors, Serta, Accenture, Lodestone, Toys R Us and more. In July 2016, STIR launched their first US-based client into the digital space and in 2018, will be expanding to the UAE. With STIR thriving, Kirsty was approached by a large meat distribution business with an opportunity to sell AAA-grade meat online and a few months later Braai Free -www.braaifree.co.za - was born. Aside from her tech and digital ventures, Kirsty is also a prolific writer on entrepreneurship, digital innovation and women’s issues. She is also a regular speaker at conferences and events, specifically driving thought leadership in the digital industry. Kirsty is also passionate and outspoken when it comes to gender inequality, and is committed to growing awareness of this imbalance to drive change. In 2016, Kirsty was named by Fast Company as one of the top 20 South Africans under 30 and was recognized by Destiny Magazine in their Power of 40 report.
