Why
Every Small Business Needs a Website
• Your Competitor Has One
• To stay on top of an ever-changing market, most small
business owners try to keep tabs on their competitors. By doing
so, they gain insight on market trends, come up with new strategies
and stay up to date with what others offer. If your competitors
have a website, it's a strong indication you should too.
• Stay Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! While some
small businesses are open 24 hours a day, most business hours
are limited to a more traditional workday schedule. With a website,
customers can view your products and services even when your
offices are closed. If you sell products online, you can even
accept orders from all over the world, all while you sleep!
• Email - The Ultimate Contact and Networking Tool. Ever
been asked for your business email address? Are you currently
using a personal email address from your Internet service provider
or a free email account for business contacts? You can quickly
raise the level of prestige and branding for your business with
an email address that includes your company name. Personalized
email accounts are usually included when you set up a hosting account for your website, depending on the hosting service you choose.
You can also set up multiple email addresses for different functions
within your company, for example: sales@your-web-address.com,
info@your-web-address.com, or yourname@your-web-address.com.

| Sell
Your Products and Services Online
You've probably seen or heard about online stores like Amazon.com
or eBay.com. While these companies have huge infrastructures
and massive marketing programs to drive their online business,
it is possible to set up an online store in much the same
way, just more modestly. There are countless online stores
that thrive doing the same type of selling but on a smaller
scale. If you have a retail product that can be shipped via
UPS or FedEx, you're a great candidate for an online store.
A
Website Opens International Markets
A website can be accessed world-wide 24 hours a day with an
Internet connection. From the moment your site launches, you
can do business all over the globe, any time of day.
Attract
New Business through Search Engines
A large amount of research today is done online. By having
your website listed on the top search engines, it can be listed
under the results for any number of queries. For example,
if you're selling ski equipment and someone searches for "ski
boots," your site could be listed
under the results. Search Engine placement isn't guaranteed. There are entire companies that provide Search Engine Optimization (SEO) services and will guarantee top placement among Google, Yahoo and others. |
Give
Detailed Contact Information to Prospective Clients
Anyone ever ask for directions to your business? Always telling
people your hours or which product lines you carry? A website
can deliver details about your business to anyone with an
Internet connection. This frees up time to focus on business
instead of answering frequently asked questions.
Interact
with Customers
The best clients are repeat and referred customers. That said,
there's no better way to keep customers coming back than by
keeping in touch with them. Through a website you can interact
with clients via online newsletters, polls and special deals.
When you keep in contact it shows customers you care, one
of the best ways to keep them coming back.
Instant
Validity
As a customer, you want to know the person you buy from is
legitimate and runs a reputable business. A well designed
website creates a feeling you're a legitimate company and
leads to increased sales.
Look
Bigger Than You Really Are!
Even a one-person business can look like a multi-person or
multi-department operation through a company website. A professional,
well designed website presents a more appealing image than
a larger competitor who's web presence appears weak or amateur.
Customers
Expect It
In today's business world, the Internet is the fastest growing
source for information. Without a presence on the internet,
your business risks never being found by prospective customers.
