BENEFITS OF OWNING A WEBSITE FOR YOUR BUSINESS
|
Owning a Website You Saves Money
Think about how much you pay for a tiny ad in the newspaper that only runs a few days? They charge you for every single letter! Amazing! And they get a way with it! Now, you get to run an ad that will be as long as you want it to be, pages and pages if you want that. Have you ever considered making a brochure, the costs involved choosing the right paper, and finding a publishing company to set it up and print it, and what to put on the brochure. Once your brochure is printed, you cannot make changes very easy. You are limited on what you can put on your brochure, but with a website your brochure is limitless!
Owning a Website Increases Your Hours of Operation
Your business will be open 24 hours a day. Any time a customer wants to know your hours, location, directions, or any other details about your company they can get it without disturbing you.
Owning a Website Saves You Time
Use your webpage as a sort of electronic secretary. Since your space is unlimited, answer all the people's questions right up front. Explain hours of operation. We've all had those phone calls that lasted 20 minutes while a prospective person asked all the same questions every other person has asked, then made an appointment, but never showed up. Now use your advertising to take care of those phone calls. Give them all the answers to their questions before they pick up the phone. From now on, when the phone rings, it's because a person has already decided they will come to you.
Owning a Website Can Make a Small Business Look Big
A website can make your business look more established and bigger than it really is, as a small business you can have a large online presence which can help increase sales.
Owning a Website Increases the Awareness of your Products and Your Services
A website provides the opportunity to publish the who, what, where, when and why of your business in a powerful and efective manner. Put your website name on your business vehicles and equipment, and everywhere you would otherwise put your business name and phone number. Do your competitors have websites? You can gain a great advantage over your competition! "People can remember a website better than they can remember a phone number"
Owning a Website Saves on Advertising Costs
Newspaper ads run for a weekend, or maybe a week, and your bill is enormous for the number of calls you get. Now armed with your webpage, you advertise for an entire year, you are up and running for 24 hours a day, week after week, for over a year, specifically showing off your business.
Owning a Website Allows You to List Before and After Pictures
You can have before and after pictures. Here is an example: A landscaper comes to a new construction site, and takes pictures of the new house and dirt yard. He does the landscaping, plants grass, shrubs or even a pond, and provides pictures of before during and after. Then he can use that information on his webpage as a professionally landscaped yard to show the world!
Owning a Website Allows You to Own an Email Address That is Easy To Remember
By establishing your own email address that uses your company name, every email you send promotes your business name. yourname@yourcompanyname.com
