THE TOP TEN REASONS FOR TAKING ACTION NOW - AND WHY THEY'RE THE TOP TEN. REASON #1 - YOUR WEBSITE IS THE MOST POWERFUL WAY TO PRESENT THE VERY BEST IMAGE OF YOUR COMPANY AND YOUR CUSTOMERS EXPECT IT In today's business world, the Internet is the fastest growing source for information. Without a web presence, your business risks never being found by prospective customers . REASON #2 - YOUR WEBSITE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR BUSINESS CARD. Your business card is the most important and relatively low-cost tool to support business dealings. That used to be true. However it's a very low-tech way of trying to ensure that your contact will remember you and have your information readily available. A moment of reflection reminds us that it rarely works like that now. Your information is quickly entered into a Blackberry, Palm Pilot or an Outlook address book. The most used items on your business card is often the website address, which the recipient checks out at the earliest opportunity. REASON #3 - YOUR WEBSITE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR COMPANY BROCHURE. A company brochure is a very useful and comforting document to have. It is something tangible that can be given to a visitor or a passer-by at a trade show or after a visit to you office. However, if you factor in the cost of developing and printing such a brochure, and the cost of getting it into potential customers' hands, the ROI of such a sales tool is very much poorer than the ROI for your website. The website is always there, and it can easily be kept up-to-date REASON #4 - YOUR MOST IMPORTANT CUSTOMERS WILL LOOK FOR YOU THERE TOO. Increasingly someone may look for your telephone number or your email address on the Internet. They use a Search engine such as Google to find it. Type in your company name in the Google search field, Click on the " I Feel Lucky " button and it should take them right to your company website. Click on the Contact tab and there's the telephone number or the email address. REASON #5 - HOW CAN YOUR FRIENDS TELL OTHERS WHERE TO FIND YOU? Suppose one of your best customers wants to do you a favor and tell one of his friends about your company. If you have a website, then your customer in a simple email message can give clickable access to what you offer. Without this, it's a question of finding literature "somewhere in that file". Then the package must be mailed or faxed.

REASON #2 - YOUR WEBSITE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR BUSINESS CARD.

However it's a very low-tech way of trying to ensure that your contact will remember you and have your information readily available.

THE TOP TEN REASONS FOR ACTION NOW - AND WHY THEY'RE THE TOP TEN. REASON #6 - YOUR WEBSITE VISITOR MAY PREFER TO GET INFORMATION ON YOUR COMPANY WITHOUT YOU KNOWING. A most interesting phenomenon is that the Internet has put the potential purchaser in the driving seat. If a potential customer invites a salesman in, then this shows some interest in potential products or services. This first invitation may lead to repeated calls or visits and sales. REASON #7 - THE MOST ATTRACTIVE POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS ARE LOOKING FOR YOU THERE. More importantly, they may be new potential customers that you are not even aware of looking for you on the internet. These are the preferred prospects that should be of keen interest to you. Such people are very likely to look for new suppliers, new retail stores, new restaurants, new places to stay or they may be moving into a new area and looking for educational options for their children, new church and other important information on the Internet. If you are not well represented there, they may drop you off their short list of options. REASON #8 - YOUR WEBSITE IS THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE SELLING FORCE BY FAR. You will rarely use only one selling approach, however it is instructive to calculate the effectiveness of each of the possible approaches. This must consider the benefits in profit generated versus the costs invested in the approach or ROI. The number of potential customers contacted via your website and the relatively modest costs involved put the ROI of a website far ahead of other sales approaches, such as paid advertising or visits by sales representatives. REASON #9 - IT TAKES TIME TO CREATE INTERNET VISIBILITY FOR YOUR WEBSITE. When you do have a website, you want the Search Engines to put it high in Search Engine Ranking Reports by using important keywords for your business. This does not happen overnight. Usually it will take 2 months or more to begin to get good rankings. So the earlier you start, the better you will succeed. [Alternatively you can use PPC (Pay per Click programs) to try to get visibility but this can become expensive if conducted for any length of time.] REASON #10 - WITHOUT A STRONG WEBSITE, YOU LEAVE THE FIELD TO THE COMPETITION. Many people use the computer to find potential suppliers. The Internet does a great job of leveling the playing field. So a new competitor with limited funds can be very visible on the Web. If your company isn't there, then your competitor may be the only visible supplier. Provided what the website offers meets the customer's need, then your competitor gets the business. Your website is a low-cost way to make those important first impressions!
