10 reasons why you need a web site

  1. You may put an advertisement in a local newspaper or magazine, or take a listing in the Yellow Pages, or run a radio advertisement, because you want to be found by prospective customers, however, people today are increasingly using the Internet to find suppliers of products & services. If you don't have a website, you won't be found by these potential customers.
  2. You can say so much more on a website than you can in other forms of advertisement. You can include product brochures, shopping facilities, newsletters, and many other communication tools that are not available, or are simply too cost prohibitive, in other advertising media options.
  3. The Internet gives you access to customers throughout your country and the rest of the world. You are no longer limiting your market to the region that you can reach with other methods of advertising and communication. Expand your market reach.
  4. Use your website to communicate with customers on a regular basis. It is a very cost-effective tool for introducing new services and products quickly to your customers.
  5. Perception and image. Establish your reputation: define your brand, stake your claim!
  6. Gather and share information. Do you have specific groups of customers to whom you want to give specific information about your company or products and services? A website is a great way to get detailed information to these groups.
  7. Save yourself money and improve your customer service! Use your website to enable people to book appointments, schedule deliveries, order products online, chat to sales representatives, and so on.
  8. Online business opportunities. If you sell products or services, you can sell them online – all over the world, any time day or night, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.
  9. The Internet is on 24 hours, 7 days a week. That means your business is advertising 24/7. Think how cost effective that is compared to other advertising media.
  10. Improve your existing marketing and sales campaigns. Your website is a lot easier to change and keep up-to-date than other forms of printed or published advertising and information.
