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 hosting 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.
