1) A website will put you on the map. If you are a business you are virtually invisible if you do not have a website. Even if your business is mentioned in local listings on the internet most people will pass you by for those businesses in your category that can give them what they want. 2) It differentiates you from your competition. You are different from those other guys, you offer something they don’t and your website will demonstrate that with great design and content. 3) You are easier to find. Good web design and web content will help to move you up in the search engine ranks. Without a website your access to potential clients or customers is often limited to local. Get a website and suddenly billions of people become potential leads, suddenly you’ve gone global. 4) Your website provides information. People are constantly combing the internet for information, they look to the internet before they look anywhere else. Even word-of-mouth marketing is nearly entirely internet-based now with all of the social media sites available. Plus, people like to have as much information as they can get about a service or product they are searching for before they contact the company. Gone are the days of calling around for the cheapest plumber. You can get nearly everything you need to know at the click of the mouse and if your website is not out there for them to find, well, then you lose out buddy. 5) You are available 24/7 365 days a year. Insomniacs no longer sit in front of the tube watching infomercials. Their bleary eyes are scanning websites of all shapes and colors ready and waiting to buy your product or contact you for your services. 6) Your website helps your branding. Your website is your first impression, your first hand-shake with your visitor. If your website is good and you make a good impression they will remember you, they will remember the image you portrayed. Your website is the first point-of-contact for your customers to see your logo and link that image to you and your products and services. 7) People love convenience. Remember the days before online banking and ATM’s? It was frustrating not being able to do everything you needed to do for your business or personal finances. People love to be able to do everything online. They want to check you out, buy your products and get in touch with you all from the comfort of their couch or office. Besides, with gas prices what they are who wants to drive to stores anymore than they have to? Studies are showing that people spend more time on the internet now than they do watching television, so take advantage of that. No matter what your business is, you at least need a page with a description of your products or services and contact information. Jump on the website bandwagon and let your website speak to your customers and handle |
