Why having a website is so important?
Having a website is the fastest, simplest and cheapest means to reach the greatest possible number of persons. It is a way to discover information of specific interests, to circulate ideas, to present a project or to entice new clients. A website is accessible online 24/7/365 and the only tax that needs to be paid is for the hosting service itself – there are no charges for paperwork, supplementary office space or more workers. Customers from any country can buy goods and services at any specific time, managers can have a look at your portfolio if you are a freelancer, or if you provide services even as simple as lawn trimming. Owning a website is an excellent way to discover brand new customers locally. More and more persons research on the web before they order anything, and a suitable and easy-to-remember domain is simpler to share with chums or colleagues than a residential address and a phone number. This information can be displayed on your website, only a click away.
Establish A Presence
People rely on the Internet to learn about the new area, research and gather information to make decisions. They are often looking for services and products on-line. Most people expect that professionally run business will have a website. With a well-designed site your small business becomes a real player both on and off the net.
Many people research and find their homes and jobs over the Internet. Add your web address to your business cards and other advertisements and you’ll have visitors knowing exactly where to go for answers to their questions and where to send their friends to for great service.
The more people know about you and your company the greater the chances you have for attracting new customers. More is generally a good thing when running a business, unless you’re talking about expenses!
More Advertising for Less Money
With a web site you can have pages of full-color advertisements that run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You get to present yourself and your services to your customers using many descriptive pages, images, interactive elements, etc. This tends to build peoples’ trust, which in turn, makes them more likely to purchase your products and services.
Bolster Your Current Ad Campaign
Include your web address in your current ad campaign and people will turn to your site for more information. Gathering more information is often a first response to a well-run ad campaign. With your site address listed in your ad, you will have people coming to YOU to get that information and your services. A better return on your advertising dollar is another great reason to add a website to your marketing tool arsenal.
Save Time with Answers to Frequently Asked Questions Online
Do you spend time answering the same types of questions for each of your clients? Well that may never stop but there may be some hope! With a web site you can put the answers to these frequently asked questions online and have your customers visit these pages for a little self service. You can even email them out a link to these pages. Your customers will appreciate the knowledge that you will be providing them and it will not require much more additional time than sending them an email or recommending that they read your Frequently Asked Questions page.
Educate Your Customers
The first step of any sale is getting the client familiar with what you are selling. In this day and age more and more people are looking on the Internet to get the information they need to make educated buying decisions.
Include articles of interest telling your potential clients about your services. When they call you to discuss your services, half the sale is already done; you’ve already given them your “pitch”. You will even save time (and money) because the ones who do call are interested, warm (and sometimes hot) prospects, not just someone calling to gather information.
Get Referrals
Referrals are one of the best ways for small businesses to get new clients. On your web site you can add a “refer a friend” link where your current clients (or just visitors) can send your link to a friend who may be interested in your services. This will increase your number of referrals and make it easy for people to refer business to you.
Create a New Customer Base
Did you ever notice that many people who use the Internet do so in place of the old school, traditional methods (newspapers, yellow pages, etc)?
With a web site you will be able to reach a whole new segment of potential clients that may have missed your current ad campaigns. A good, informative web site will attract many people who may not have heard of you otherwise.
Get Email
With your web site you will also get email addresses for your business. On your site will be a link where people will be able to email you for additional information. This is a fast and effective form of communication that enables you to communicate very efficiently with potential customers. Time is money in a small business; with email you’ll be saving both.
Establish a Relationship with your Clients
People generally prefer to do business with people they “know.” On your site you will give people the opportunity to get to know your business (and perhaps you) and feel more comfortable with you. Once this is established they will be more likely to want to do business with you as compared to the other, similar company whom they know nothing about.
A picture or profile of you or your associates will make you more real to the client and make the client more likely to contact and communicate with you. Post some informative videos and get active with social media and you’ve taken the concept to a whole new level.
Gather Contact Information
A traditional printed newsletter can be an expensive and time consuming promotional action. With printing, postage and time spent, the costs can add up fast. With a web site you can have people who would like to receive your newsletter send you their email address. You can then email your newsletter to all of the people in your database, automatically! You don’t need to pay for printing or postage for these newsletters. Continual contact with prospects is a proven tactic which directly leads to more inquiries and sales!
