Top 10 Reason To Own A Website
We have compiled this Top 10 List of reasons
why every business should have a website. We believe
these to be the most straightforward reasons why
it just makes sense to have a web.
Clicking
on questions will display the answer.
- Websites last forever.
- Websites are the least expensive
way to advertise.
- Websites can free up phone lines
and man hours.
- Websites work 24/7/365.
- Websites are a great way to interact
with your customers.
- Websites work in conjunction
with all other advertising.
- Websites can easily be modified
or changed.
- Websites are a great way to post
company events.
- 2 out of 3 homes have at least
one computer.
- The Internet is fast becoming
the way people do business.
A website is
a collection of files and images. Since it does
not have an expiration date, a shelf life, or
depreciation schedule it will be yours for as
long as you choose to keep a copy on CD. There
is no other form of advertising where this is
true. Yellow pages, newspapers, radio and TV all
cost hundreds or even thousands to renew yearly.
With a website all you need to do is pay the hosing
fees each month and your advertising is always
working.
Websites are cheaper than any
other form of advertising. Radio,
television, and print media all cost more than
a website. Let's say a website costs $1500. That's
approximately the same cost as a small advertisement
for 1 year in the yellow pages. Once the year
is over you need to pay again to renew your Yellow
Page ad. The website is yours forever. No need
to pay again.
Webs can free up man hours and
phone. Answering many of the everyday questions
asked by customers, the website has freed up your
receptionist to perform other duties. Simply mention
your web address in your hold
message and watch the lines free up.
Websites run 24 hours a day,
7 days a week and 365 days a year. There is no
downtime with the Internet since it is
also a 24/7/365 environment. Shoppers, visitors,
and potential clients can find your business and
answer questions online even when the staff is
home sleeping.
Websites allow your customers
to share their feelings and comments. This type
information is invaluable to
anyone looking to improve their business. Additionally,
allowing your customers to fill out forms online
also increases productivity.
Websites work with all your other
advertising plans. You can mention your web address
in any of the other advertising your company does.
This allows your potential customers to visit
your site and learn more information about your
company than would fit into the tiny little box,
or 15 second ad.
Websites can be easily
modified. Once the site is built, adding
more information or another page is no big deal
and can usually be done in a day or two.
Posting company events
is another benefit of owning a website. Keep your
employees updated and notified of any company
functions, meetings, or other events. Save money
on copies, memos, or other notification means.
The US average for homes with
computers has now reached 60%. With that many
computers and users looking for goods and services
it doesn't make sense to not own a website. Keep
your business in front of the public with a web
presence.
It used to be tough to find
people who would trust the Internet to conduct
business. That was then and this is now.
With each passing day, users of all ages become
more comfortable with the Internet and buying
products online. Take a look at the people you
know. Are there any that buy products online?
If so, then think of all the others there might
be waiting to find your business.
