Competing for customer attention is the burden of every business owner. But you know it needs to be done if you want to succeed. You'll have to keep an eye out for all the best new methods you can use to reach this goal. Here are 5 great new ideas that you can make use of to gain the attention of customers.

1. Add Some Colorful Flags to Your Display

If you own an actual brick-and-mortar business, there are a few key moves you can make to give some extra pizzazz to your decor. One of them is to hang out a few full-color feather flags. These handy displays are sure to catch the eye and invite people to come inside. You can keep their attention with more banners throughout your store.

2. Get Some Handy LED Display Signs

Are you tired of your old signs tearing up and wearing out? Are you sick of having to take down signs after every sale or special event? Why not invest in some handy LED display signs? These signs are made of high-quality modern material that won't wear out. They are also fully reusable for years to come.

LED signs can be used to mark your entrance and exit as well as other areas of your store. They can advertise sale items, new arrivals, and closeout bargains. They can let people know where the bathrooms are located. Above all, if you need to use them for a new purpose, just reload the content and set them back out.

3. Make Sure to Use High-Quality SEO

If you want to gain customer attention, you need to take their attention span into full account. This is currently down to a level of about 9 seconds, meaning that you need to get their attention in a hurry. The best way to do so is to use the most effective and relevant SEO in your content.

The higher you can rank your content due to top-quality SEO, the more easily you can generate a click. You need to be sure to include all of the top-ranked keywords and phrases that catch people's attention and encourage this action. Since you only have a few short seconds to do it, it needs to be expert level.

4. Post More Videos on Social Media

If you have a physical location, why not put the public spotlight on it? You can post some informative videos that show off your location. You can also use video content to get people more familiar with your personality. This will give them a more immediate picture of who you are as well as what you can do for them.

Even if you are just working from home via a website, you can still craft videos that show off your goods or services. A picture is worth a thousand words and a video will have more effect than a wall of boring text. A video will give people an insight into the workings of your business. It's a guaranteed brand builder.

5. Don't Be Afraid to Answer Viewer Questions

If you get a lot of comments on a particular blog or social media post, why not go ahead and answer them? People will appreciate the fact that you took the time to read their responses and post your replies. It's a great way to show that you take an active interest in making sure customer satisfaction is a priority.

The more questions you answer, the higher your level of credibility can grow. Being known as a participant in the discussion is a good way to build a public image as a business owner that cares about their community. It will give you a very valuable level of attention from your public.

You're Competing for Hearts and Minds

It will be up to you to make sure that every bit of content you post is fully memorable. Remember that you are in the business of competing for the hearts and minds of millions of customers. If you own a physical business, it needs to entice visitors to come in. Catching their attention will be your ultimate goal.
