Low Cost Advertising: When compared to the
costs associated with traditional advertising methods
such as direct mail, newspaper, magazine ads, or radio
and television, the cost of a web site is nominal. The
amount of information you can present on a website far
exceeds what you can do on a small budget with
traditional advertising and it is all in full colour.
|
 |
Longer Lastivity: Unlike traditional
advertising that is discarded as soon as the newspaper
or magazine is thrown away, a website lasts and your
customer can find it again and again on the Internet -
it never gets thrown away.
|
 |
Expanded Business Hours: The time of day is
now irrelevant. The Internet never sleeps and never
shuts down. With a web site your products, services
and information become available to anyone with
Internet access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
|
 |
Many research on the web before buying:
Thanks to the vast amount of information on the web,
consumers are spending more and more time researching
products and services on the web before they buy. Get
them at the early stages of their search if possible.
|
 |
Its Expected: Businesses have always
advertised their physical address and phone number. In
the late 80's, a fax number became just as important.
These days, consumers expect every business to have a
website. Those that don't give the impression that
they are behind the times.
|
 |
Quality sites add credibility: When
starting a new business or even growing an old
business, it takes time to build up a reputation and
gain credibility. With a high quality website, a
potential customer assumes the business is legitimate
and very serious about what they sell or offer.
|
 |
New customers and audience previously unreachable:
A website doesn’t just advertise your business locally
and nationally but advertises your business globally.
So you can now reach new customers all around the
world.
|
 |
Compliment to other forms of advertisement:
Having a website complements any other forms of
advertising you may use - including your website
address directs them to more information online.
|
 |
Your Competitors have one: As more and more
businesses and organizations get online, those who
don't will increasingly be putting themselves at a
competitive disadvantage.
|
 |
Improved Customer Service: Customer
accusation and retention is one of the key factors of
business value chain. Thanks to Internet technology,
business can provide customer support more
effectively. This means better customer satisfaction
and increase of profitability. |
