The Top 10 Reasons Your Business Needs a Web Site

Does every business no matter how large or small need a presence
on the Internet? Absolutely, and not just for the traditional
reasons, but primarily because your website is an extension of
your brick and motor, your home based business, or your business
on wheels. Everyone in the business of making money can benefit
from letting potential customers know who you are and what
you're all about.

Competition in the new millennium is unyielding. You are a
success today and a failure tomorrow. It is your website that
will tell customers that you are ready. Ready for what? Whatever
changes come your company's way, you are ready to compete.

Your business needs a website because:

1. You want to offer 24 hour customer service. Your customers
will be able to visit your Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
page and learn immediately your hours of operation, phone and
fax number, address, directions and a map if necessary. Remember
customers are not mind readers and if you make getting
information about your business too difficult they will simply
look elsewhere.

2. You want your business to provide more "bang-for-the-buck."
Customers trust business owners that know their craft and are
leaders in the industry, even if your business is located in a
town with a population of 652. Providing articles, news
information about your area of expertise and statistical data on
your web site may mean the difference between a customer using
your business or not using you. 3. You need a sound way to
gather data about your customer's opinions and needs. You need
to know what is on your customers mind so you can provide
cutting edge customer service and anticipate their needs.

4. Your website will provide another essential way for your
customers to contact you, i.e. email and online forms. 5. Your
website will make your company more accessible and demonstrate
to your customers that you are willing to move into the world of
global exposure.

6. A website presence allows you to tell your company's story.
You can provide testimonials from satisfied customers and
acknowledge superior employees.

7. Your website will allow you to recruit employees and
publicize the great career/freelance opportunities at your
company.

8. Your company website will allow you to have a competitive
advantage over those who don't have a website, while equally
competing with those who do.

9. A company website allows you to create an awareness of social
issues, acknowledging to customers that you are a sensitive
committed humanitarian.

10. Should the business owner decide to sell the business, a
company website would definitely be an asset.
