Top 10 Reasons to go Online
Written by Angie Palmer, Feb 16, 2009
1. It costs you little to set up a website. For a simple website, you can have one for as cheap as a few hundred dollars with up to 100 business e-mails that come with the website package.
2. Your business stays open 24/7. Your website is always there and you don't have to worry if somebody is there to answer the phone or greet the customer physically.
3. You can set up an online store easily and cut your order handling costs by mail or by phone.
4. With the number 2 and 3 listed above, it is obvious that you can cut staffing costs significantly with a website.
5. Your business information is always current. You can easily update your company information or catalog with just a few clicks.
6. Forget about expensive printing and mailing costs. Let's face it. Printing of brochures and catalogues is time-consuming and costly. It is not a very green practice either.
7. You have complete control over the information you want to share. Unlike sending a press release to newspapers, your information may get edited or distorted when it is published.
8. There is no permit or license involved in setting a website. Your website can be up and running in as short as a few days. Just make sure you discuss with your public relations or internet marketing consultant about what information you should share and what kind of search engine optimization strategies to use to help your website get more exposure.
9. You appear more credible and will get more business if you have a company website. Customers are smarter and sophisticated now. They like to do research online before they visit a store or call a business.
10. Your market is instantly expanded with a website because people around the world can get access to your company products and services online.
