Top six reasons why you need a website.
Steve Jobs often asked ‘why’. He challenged every single operation within his company. Everyone did things differently because Jobs would ask them why they did things in a certain way. Wanting a small business website since ‘everyone else has one’ isn’t an entirely compelling reason. Instead think about the business advantages a good digital presence offers a small business.
1. An online brochure
Large companies spend millions creating brochures and distributing them. A website lets your potential customers find out about you and any of your products online.
2. Get more customers!
You do want more customers? More than 2.4 billion people use the internet every day, and 90% have purchased something or contacted a company, online in the last 12 months. By not having a website, you are missing out on a huge potential audience.
3. A professional appearance
A website portrays a modern, forward thinking business. it comes with email accounts. I know you might like steveman99286534@gmail.com but address@whateveryouwant.com projects a much more businesslike, professional company.
4. Compete with the big companies
Have you ever wanted to compete with all the big names out there but can’t match their advertisement budget? By creating an incredibly beautiful website with a solid strategy behind it you can portray the professional big company image that will get you a ‘foot in the door’. From that point it’s down to you to sell yourself with your service.
5. FREE Marketing!
A digital media presence allows to to send out information and offers to customers, or entice prospective customers immediately. No waiting weeks for the local paper to come out, no expensive (and normally pointless) leaflet campaign. Have the idea and transmit it immediately.
6. Increased business
What do you think the result of doing 1 to 5 will be? You have successfully accessed a large, previously untapped market. People who want your service now know you exist.
So the result is …… you really cannot afford to be without an online digital and website presence.
