Do I need a Website?
The facts are that over 80% of people will now naturally go to the internet to find Products and Services. There are now very little homes without a PC and access to the internet, therefore it is just the natural choice to find the products and services you need. Think about yourself, how many times have you or your relatives used the internet to find prices of products and services.
People now expect all types of Businesses to have their own website. The reality is that if they can’t find you on the Internet then how are they ever going to find you? Searching Yellow pages may be an option, but how much competition do you have in a book that has over 1000 pages and millions of businesses. If they don’t find you, they will find your competition. Even if your website just provides basic information about your company and contact information, it will probably be more than what any of your competition currently has available.
Having a website will promote your business to new and existing customers and open a gateway to global business. Customers can browse the Internet in their own time at ease and this is when the sales will happen. The customer does not feel pressured to purchase. This will then make them feel more confortable in purchasing the Products or Services you provide.
Having a virtual showroom or information centre will let you showcase all your Products and Services at the click of a button, giving the customer an abundence of choice. This will also let the customer search for addresses and telephone numbers which makes it easier for the customer to find you. They will appriciate you making their life easier.
Having a Website also creates excellent customer service. If you require a Product or Service and you are in a hurry you would naturally go on the internet and search for the business, quick and simple. Customers do not want to go through a phone book, ring the business and then stay on hold for the represenative to answer. Having a website links the customer to your website directly with no unnessesary searching.
