The benefits of having a website
Why should every small business have their own website?
Having a website gives your business a professional image, allows qualified prospects/customers to find you, makes your business convenient to deal with and eliminates geographical barriers. Advertising and marketing on a website is also much cheaper and more effective than traditional print media.
- Professional image
The size of your business doesn't matter - the playing field is leveled on the internet. A website gives your customers the impression that you are a serious business that will be convenient to deal with and that will deliver a quality product. You will have a professional looking e-mail address
Example: yourname@yourbusiness.co.za - Gain more business
Many potential customers search for products or services on the internet.
This means that that every person that visits your website is already a qualified lead, or without the business jargon; it means they are looking for the product or service which you offer. Unlike print media; a website is a much more focused way of marketing your business.
Search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Msn have become increasingly popular over the last few years.
Only a business with a well optimized website will capitalize on this. - Online marketing
Apart from the obvious methods of online marketing like listing your website in online classifieds and business directories, your website will also allow you to collect information from visitors. This allows you to develop a database, communicate with the database and develop relationships with your clientele. Relationship marketing has developed greatly over the last few years and is vital in allowing you to realise the lifetime value or the customer. - Convenience
Customers can view your products online, get your contact details from your website or request a quote all from the comfort of their home. - Geographical barriers
A website is not limited by geographical barriers. Potential customers in any part of the world can view your website. This may open up a wealth of opportunities such as national expansion/distribution or even exporting. - Advanced web analytics
You will have access to web analytics. This gives you a great deal of information about where your website visitors are from, how many unique visitors your website is getting, how long they stay on your website for, what pages they view the most, what search terms your website is performing well for, as well as how visitor are landing on your websites' pages.
