Top 10 Reasons To Have A
Website
-
Establish A Web Presence - There are approximately 665 million
Internet users worldwide - over 183 million in the U.S. and Canada
alone! No matter what business you're in, a Web site expands your
potential audience considerably. The Internet opens up a whole new arena
in which to do business.
-
Network - Smart businesspeople know that it's not what you know, but
who you know. Having a Web site is an inexpensive and simple way to give
your business card to millions of potential customers. 24 hours a day,
365 days a year, your Web site says what you do and how you can be
reached.
-
Make Business Information Available - A Web site can communicate a
plethora of information about your business to your customers and
potential customers: business hours, the type of service or product
offered, location, types of payment accepted. It's like a Yellow Pages
ad - but you can change or update it instantly. Whether it is daily
specials, current interest rate, information about an upcoming event, take charge of your
communication!
-
Save Everyone Time - You can save your customers time by providing
convenient ways to get needed information, such as product and service
or helping them to determine which product or service will best meet
their needs. Customers are better educated, requiring less time to
complete the sale.
-
Supplement Traditional Advertising - Think of your Web site as an
adjunct to traditional advertising. By providing your URL in an ad or
mailer, you've just put an electronic brochure into the hands of your
prospects at pennies on the dollar compared to print media. Your Web
site never comes in late or gets sick, works around the clock for you
and never complains.
-
Low-Cost Investment = High Return - A Web site is truly
cost-effective advertising. Compare the cost to create and maintain a
Web site, which works for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a
year, to the cost of a single display ad. Now think about the cost per
sale. Do the math - the Web site wins every time.
-
Enhance Your Business Image - By displaying your Web address on
business cards, letterhead, signs, announcements, advertisements, and
more, you communicate to the world that you are progressive and
service-minded.
-
Your Customers Expect It - The Internet is gaining popularity every
year. As public awareness increases, people expect even small businesses
to have a Web site. Failing to meet your customers' needs online may
drive potential customers to another business that does have a Web
presence. As more businesses and organizations establish an online
presence, those who don't will find themselves placed at a competitive
disadvantage.
-
The Equalizer Effect - In many respects the Web functions as a great
equalizer because the size of your company is less obvious online. If
your business is small, an attractive and functional Web site can help
you compete with larger businesses. If your business is already large,
you need a world-class Web site to stay competitive in today's
marketplace.
-
Help Our Environment - In a world where diminishing natural
resources are a serious concern, the Internet is becoming a constant and
recyclable resource. Every business that uses the Internet for
marketing, advertising and commerce helps alleviate the need for printed
information and advertising, in turn conserving the energy and resources
it takes to print those materials.
