12 Reasons you should have a website
The web has revolutionized the way we work, play and communicate. It is the method of choice to shop and to research products and services for over 180 million people... and that's just in the United States! A website can increase visibility for your business or organization either locally or around the world.
It's easy in times of economic crisis to start chopping marketing budgets, however, we believe the web is a solution to survive economic hard times, not a budget item to cut.
Simply put, the web is more important now than at any other time!
1. The web is cost effective
Websites are affordable and cost effective. A typical website costs roughly the same as a large one-time print ad in a daily newspaper. A newspaper has a limited lifetime, whereas a website is long term.
2. The web adapts and grows with you
You can build content over time. A website is organic in growth, not 'once-off' like other traditional media.
3. The web is timely
You can easily keep a website up-to-date far more frequently than traditional media. You can update your content often, if need be.
4. The web is measurable
Using traffic analysis, you can get a clear idea of the visitors to your website, and what they view. No other medium shows you such results based detail.
5. The web is improved communication
Using contact or feedback forms on your website, you can engage in direct converstations with your customers and build a stronger, more loyal following.
6. The web is now expected
A website makes a powerful first impression. More and more businesses and consumers are using the web to find suppliers or products. Not having a website in this age is akin to not having a telephone.
7. The web answers frequently asked questions
How much of your staff time is taken up answering typical questions such as, "what are your business hours", "where are you located", "what services do you offer", etc... These are the questions customers want to know the answers to before they deal with you. Your website can answer these in more depth with better results, without the extra cost of your staff's time, or print ads.
8. The web establishes your presence
A web presence is becoming essential to businesses. Whether you use it for information retrieval, communication, shopping on-line, or publicity... it can provide a cost-effective way to provide instantaneous communication to anyone with an internet connection..
9. The web is global
You can sell to your town or city, or you can use the web to sell globally. The web is an exporter's dream platform.
10. The web works while you sleep
The web enables your business to remain open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! It reaches out to prospective customers who are trying to reach your business. It can educate, inform and attract new customers while you sleep.
11. The web is faster
Using blogs, email newsletters and campaigns means instant communication, not time lagged direct mail, or traditional advertising.
12. Your competition is already there.
If you don't have a website, we can assure you, your competition does. Why let them have the advantage?
