If your business doesn't have a website, it needs one.
Here are 10 reasons why.

You Will Be Open for Business 24 Hours a Day
Your business is open to the world 24 hours a day, 7days a week with no labour costs involved.  An online store never closes. Plus, a  website faces no time zone barriers!

Present a Professional and Credible Image
Your organization must make the leap into the 21st century if it is to be perceived as professional in today's marketplace. Today, customers, employees, and suppliers expect to be able to find and communicate with a business online. It is very much like being listed in the Yellow Pages used to be, if you do not have a listing, will potential customers be able to find and trust you? Organizations that still do not have a Web presence are inadvertently making a statement about their ability to embrace technology and adapt to change in today's dynamic environment. 

For a small business, a well-designed website is a great way of creating credibility and looking bigger than you actually are.  You can look like one of the big corporations at a very small cost. When one compares the cost of establishing a website to what it costs to promote a business on the traditional media (newspaper, radio, television), it is evident that a website is the cheapest form of marketing ever created.

Customer Service
You can provide 24 hour customer service without hiring any additional staff.  Your customers are better served when they can access information about your product or services immediately via your website rather than waiting for a mailed brochure or a return phone call.  In today's fast-paced market, how quickly and conveniently customers can access the information or purchase the product is frequently the factor that determines who will win the sale. Provide answers to frequently asked questions on your website.  Information requests can be processed immediately via online forms and autoresponders whether someone is in the office or not.

Save Money
A website is your online brochure or catalogue that can be changed or updated at anytime, at a much cheaper and faster rate than print material.  It saves you money on printing and distribution costs.  Saving is just that easy!

Sell Your Products and Services Online
Selling through your website is much cheaper and a great way to supplement your offline business.  Providing secure online ordering is very affordable today.  That explains why the worldwide online commerce had reached $6.8 trillion by 2004, and has continued to increase ever since!

Stability
You may move your place of business, change your phone number, or even change your hours, but your website address never changes, and your website is always open.

Your Own Internet Identity
Your own domain name (www.yourcompany.com) establishes a strong online brand identity, and allows you to set up email addresses specific to your own company.  Today, email is the most common way to communicate efficiently and professionally with the rest of the world.

Customer Feedback and Information
You can gather information about your existing and potential customers by using online forms and surveys. Provide a feedback form to make it easy for your customers to send their input. Conduct surveys to find out how you can improve your products and services.  Your site statistics can also help you understand how your visitors and customers use your site.

Great Recruiting Tool
You can post job opportunities with your company on your website.  Your website is a great recruiting tool for building your business.

Improve Your Advertising Effectiveness
Your website address on all of your promotions will give your company a cutting edge corporate image and it will encourage the viewers to check your site for additional information. The addition of your website address on your ad increases your exposure without adding any cost.
