why your business should have a web site


I am often asked why a website is necessary . I hope that the reasons listed below may help convince you that marketing your business through a website is well worth serious consideration, and there is no better time than the present to promote your business with a stonyweb site.


1. These days potential customers are as likely to search on the internet for products and services as they used to go to the phone book. You need a web presence to reach your potential customers, why let them find your competitors when they can find you?


2. Getting new customers is about trust. Your website can tell visitors a lot more about you and your business than most other mediums. Use it to introduce yourself, your business and your products, the perfect way to show examples of your work and include real customer testimonials.


3. Exposure. Your website is potentially visible everywhere, not just for attracting local customers which may be the case with directories or local advertising. Use your website to compliment your other forms of marketing as you can say so much more, even in a three or four page site.


4. Customer Service. Your customers can have easy access to all the information they need to do business with you. Quick and handy access which has become part of everyday life for most people and what’s more they can contact you quickly and easily via contact forms and email.


5. Your website is not a static form of advertising, you can introduce new products, advertise special offers and react quickly to market changes.


6. Compete with the larger organisations. Your web presence can be just as impressive and can give you as much exposure as the competition. It gives you legitimacy and the opportunity to put your message across.


7. Visitor information is measured and other data such as search terms used to find your site can be gathered. This means you can constantly adapt your message to achieve results.


8. Your website can adapt and grow as your business does. If you want to expand into online shopping (e-commerce), then your website will allow you to do this.


9. Over 30 million people in the UK access the internet every day. That’s a massive potential audience.


10. Your website is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will be seen by people looking to buy – a powerful weapon in sales growth.
