These days you need to have a website, for the following 5 reasons:
1. Your potential customers are looking for you, from the Internet. This is the most important reason for businesses to have a website. There are over a billion Internet users, if you are serious about your business, how could you afford to ignore this channel of getting the attention of your potential customers? For your reference, around half of Dealz By Design's business comes from the Internet.
2. Your competitors are there. This is like going for a trade exhibition. If you cannot stop your competitors from going there, you should at least be present, so that your potential customers are given a fair chance of comparing and subsequently buying your products or engaging your services.
3. The magic of love at first sight. Nowadays website has become an integrated part of a business. The moment your potential customers see that you do not have a website, they will think you are not serious about your business and they will hesitate to get committed with you. In contrast, if you have a nicely designed website, potential customers are inclined to get to know more about you. Then you can explain to them why your products are great or how excellent your services are and, finally, win over their hearts.
4. You and your employees need to take a break. We are all humans and humans need to take a break. However, when you are taking a break, your potential customers may be not. They may want to read your company profile, or find out more about your products/services, or even place an order. Having a website means your business is open and reachable around the clock and throughout the year.
5. Getting a website does not cost a lot anymore. Gone are the days when you need to fork out a few thousand dollars just to get a website, not to mention the ongoing maintenance fees. For as little as a few hundred dollars, you can now have a decent presence on the world wide web.
