When a current or potential customer lands on your website or social media, what do they see? A modern, professional brand that looks reliable? Or an outdated, clunky page that raises doubts before they even contact you?
In wholesale, first impressions count—and they happen online before you even get a chance to sell.
🔹 Your Website Should Be Instantly Clear – Who you are, what you sell, and why customers should trust you. If it’s confusing or looks outdated, they’ll leave.
🔹 Make Social Media Work for You – A dead or rarely updated profile tells potential customers you’re inactive. Regular, engaging posts build credibility and show you’re a serious player.
🔹 Professionalism Matters – Grainy images, poorly written content, or broken links scream “low effort”—which customers assume means low effort elsewhere in your business.
🔹 Trust Signals Build Confidence – Customer reviews, case studies, and testimonials should be front and center. Show them you’re trusted in the industry.
If your online presence doesn’t look the part, you’re already losing sales before the conversation even starts. Make sure your first impression says “trustworthy, reliable, and professional.”
