Like many small business owners, you may believe your business cannot benefit from having a responsive website or that a website is not within your budget.  Or maybe you think because you don’t use a computer, neither do your potential customers.  These are misconceptions.  These 4 reasons show why your company NEEDS a professional website, no matter what size your business.

1. YOUR SMALL BUSINESS WILL GAIN CREDIBILITY

Today, more and more consumers use the internet to search for the products or services they need.  Your small business will gain credibility by having a website.  Without one, potential customers will go to your competitors.  If you already have a website but it is “home-made”, having it professionally redesigned will provide your business with a professional image which will inspire even greater confidence.  For home-based businesses, this is particularly beneficial since you do not have a store front to promote your products or services.

2. IT WILL ENABLE YOU TO KEEP YOUR CUSTOMERS INFORMED

Think of your website as being your online brochure or catalog.  It is much easier and quicker to update information about your products and services on your website than in print material, making it an effective way of letting your customers know about the arrival of new products, upcoming events, special promotions, or any new services you now offer.  Unlike print ads which quickly become outdated, your website can provide current information and news.

3. IT IS ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE

A website is available to both your regular and potential customers 24/7/365 providing them with the convenience of reviewing your products and services when your store or office is closed.  With today’s busy lifestyles, this is a great selling point when making a purchase decision.

4. A WEBSITE MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO TARGET A WIDER MARKET

Whether you provide products or services, your website will provide an alternative location to sell them.  As a retailer, a website (eCommerce) is a great place to sell your products to a wider market; even services can be made available globally.  Don’t think you’ll be able to sell your products or services online?  Don’t forget, even cars and houses sell online!
