So, why do you need a website?
OK - here's 5 pretty compelling reasons!
- Global exposure of you and your products
The Internet is being used on a regular basis by millions worldwide.
With the Internet
they can become your customer! How much do you think it would cost
you to advertise in a couple of national newspapers? Compare that
to the cost of a website. The information you provide on your website
is instantly
available
to every one of
these users.
- Customer Support
Provide personalized support for your customers
with answers to common questions; assistance on specific products
or services, provide a variety of ways in which you can be contacted.
Do all this without answering a phone or hiring additional staff.
- Update your products and services easily.
If you have produced "paper" catalogs,
brochures, sales flyers, you know how difficult and expensive it
is to
change them. You want to add a new item. Oh no! The phone company
changed
your area code. No, no! What a pain with paper. With your Internet
site, changing anything is a simple and inexpensive process.
- E-Mail Communications
Talk anywhere in the world with customers and
employees and pay NO long distance telephone charges. And while
you're at it, you can "attach" other documents to
your e-mail. For example, you can send an updated proposal
to your representative across the country - quickly and at
no cost.
- New Ideas
When you use the Internet, you can try new ideas usually for little
invested on your part. If it doesn't work, OK, you learned. Modify
it your idea. Improve it. At the very least you'll know more than
your competitors.
