Website Planning & Strategy

This guide helps music store owners plan a user-friendly website that supports business growth by showcasing products and services. A well-structured site attracts customers and makes it easy to promote lessons, rentals, repairs, and sales.

‍

Step 1: Know Who Your Customers Are

What To Do: Think about who shops at your store. Are they kids learning music, parents, or professional musicians?

How To Do It:

  • Make a list of your customers’ ages, hobbies, and needs.
  • Ask your current customers what they like about your store.

Why It Works: When you know your customers, it’s easier to make a website they’ll love to use.

‍

Step 2: Check Out Your Competition

What To Do: Look at other music store websites to see what they do well.

How To Do It:

  • Search online for stores like yours.
  • Write down what you like and don’t like about their websites.

Why It Works: Seeing what others do can give you good ideas for your own website.

‍

Step 3: Pick Your Website Goals

What To Do: Decide what you want your website to do. Do you want to sell instruments? Book music lessons? Share repair tips?

How To Do It:

  • Write down your top 2-3 goals, like “Get 10 new lesson sign-ups every month” or “Sell more beginner instruments.”

Why It Works: Clear goals help you stay focused and build a website that works for your business.

‍

Step 4: Plan Your Website Pages

What To Do: Think about the pages your website needs. 

Some examples are:

  • A homepage to welcome visitors.
  • A “Lessons” page to explain your classes.
  • A shop page to sell instruments or supplies.
  • A “Contact Us” page with your phone number and address.

How To Do It:

  • Draw a map of your website showing all the pages.
  • List what each page will say.

Why It Works: When you plan your pages, it’s easier to keep your website clear and helpful.

‍

Step 5: Write Your Website’s Message

What To Do: Make sure your website tells people why they should choose your store.

How To Do It:

  • Use simple words to explain what makes your store special.
  • Include customer reviews or stories.

Why It Works: A strong message builds trust and makes people want to visit your store.

‍

Example: Melody’s Music Store

What They Did:

  1. Audience: Melody decided her audience is mostly parents of kids learning music.
  2. Competition: She checked local stores and saw they didn’t offer online lessons.
  3. Goals: She picked goals like “Sign up 20 new students this year” and “Sell more beginner violins.”
  4. Pages: She planned a homepage, a lessons page, a shop, and a contact page.
  5. Message: Her website says, “Helping kids discover the joy of music!” and shares reviews from happy parents.

The Result: Melody’s website brought in more lesson sign-ups and instrument sales.
