1. Do you advertise in the media?
2. Do you have a printed brochure or other promotional material?
3. Would you like prospective clients to find information about you easily?
4. Would you like your products or services to be available world-wide?
5. Would you like to sell your products or services online 24 hours a day?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then you should have a website.
According to the latest statistics, people are spending an increasing amount of time on the Internet and watching less TV. You can’t afford NOT to have a website. If you do have one, how can you get it to work for you instead of just sitting there doing nothing? Most websites go nowhere and make no profit. They’re an expense not an asset. An effective website is one that gives you a profitable return on your investment.
How do you make your website an asset?
– By creating a website that builds your business brand and can easily be found on the internet
– By increasing the visibility of your business to millions of people in cyberspace.
Consider the following facts:
– 84% of households in the US own a computer
– 73% of households in the US have access to the internet
– 3.17 billion people use the internet worldwide
Can you afford to ignore these potential customers?
People are looking online for your type of business and they need to find you! If you don’t have an effective website, they will not find you. This means loss of potential business. An effective, well-organized website has the awesome potential to reduce costs and increase revenue.
Here is what a great website does:
Creates Branding
Your website must be a part of your branding. Branding is what differentiates you from the millions of sites out there and establishes your corporate identity. For example – “when you think Volvo, you think safety.”
Accessibility:
A successful website reaches new, untapped resources that introduce you and your products or services to an otherwise unreachable market.
Reduced printing costs
it helps to reduce your costs; there is no need for postage and handling. Compared to other advertising media like printed brochures, a website is an excellent return on investment.
Reduced Marketing Costs
A website is much more cost efficient – when compared to radio, TV, newspaper or billboard ads. It decreases administrative costs, normally associated with paper-based information.
Increased Sales
A website provides your business with a 24/7 presence and can attract international customers that a business would normally not reach. Instant access to information about your company and products helps to attract new business.
Up-to-Date Information
Updates are as often as possible and the changes are instant. Costs are nominal.
Online Brochure
Your website is an online brochure providing current, relevant information about your business to your customers.
Imagine if you had an ebook, an audio or a video that took you a day to create and that single product now generates thousands of dollars per month in sales. Wouldn’t it be worth it to have that effective website working for you now?
