		<description>Hi Barbara,
Thanks for your question. Many franchise head offices provide specific tools and guidelines for marketing. For this reason, it may be difficult to answer your question without doing a complete Lift Assessment.

Here’s the short answer…these days a website can be easily updated if you have your web developer design site using a “content management system” (CMS). My website can be updated without having any knowledge of computer programming.

Having a website that is current is very important. The more content on your site the better. Especially when it is informaton your clients and prospects will benefit from. Google loves it when new and relevant content is posted on your website.

Secondly, there are tools available at a reasonable price that will help you manage sending out emails to customers and prospects. It is important that you have a good marketing strategy in place before you pick one of these tools you get the right one for your business. Here are a few:
