Web Sites Are A Key To Business Growth!
Since the late '90s, Internet sales have increased by double-digit percentages every year! If you don't have a web site, then you are missing out on this very large market. You're not only missing out, you're giving the business up to the shop down the street.
Your customers are online—are you?
The Internet is now the first place that your connected customers go for information. And the best news for businesses with web sites? According to latest estimates, almost 70% of Americans have online access—and that number is even higher in the younger age groups.
Just an example...
I had occasion recently to buy some audio recording equipment for a church group. Some of it was purchased locally, but only because the company we bought it from had a web site that I could get information from. I'm a normal person — my days are filled with work, and my research had to be done after-hours. But what brick-and-mortar store other than Wal-Mart or 7-Eleven is open at 1AM (I work long hours)? So I ended up buying a major portion of the equipment online. A company that provided me with information and made it easy for me to buy ended up making a sale that was worth several thousand dollars, and will probably benefit when it comes time to buy more equipment.
You don't have to sell a product to benefit from a web site
One of the premier uses of the Internet is to gather information. That is, after all, the major reason behind its invention in the late 1980's. The information you can provide on your business is unlimited! From simple things like who and where you are to full product or service descriptions, answers to common questions that would normally sap your time and energy, tips and tricks for your industry—I'm sure you can think of more, can't you?
Specialty products and services
If you produce a specialty product with a limited market, or a specialized service, having a web site that showcases and sells those things for you is vital! Instead of having a few people a day come into your hi-rent shop downtown to buy your soy candles, you now have a market of millions and millions of people! Instead of an impossibly small local market, now you can grow your business as large as you want to. Starting and growing your own business on the Internet has never been easier than it is right now!
