Why your business deserves a website!
"Zivnett - Helping you take your business further"
Ten reasons to launch your business online
- To establish your Internet presence
The fact that the UK population is going on line – fast! Almost 37million people in the UK go on line each month – over 60% of the population. This makes it the first reason for your business to have a website. Be a part of the Internet community and enjoy its benefits!
- To advertise your business
Think of your business website as an online advertisement or brochure. What makes it different from the traditional print brochure is that your existing and potential customers can access it anytime and anywhere. For individuals with a busy career or lifestyle, this provides a perfect solution! Also, your potential customer base becomes global!
- To save on advertising costs
Using a well-designed website to advertise your business is very cost effective, and it is far more economical than placing adverts on billboards, TV, radio, newspaper, direct mail and telemarketing. Update and maintenance costs are minimal in comparison to other types of recurring advertising costs.
- To make changes quickly
Again, think of your business website as an online brochure. It is distinct from the print brochure in that changes can be made and mistakes can be corrected almost instantaneously. With Carver software this can be done at no extra cost to you! With your website your existing and potential customers can get the latest updates on your new arrivals, specials, prices, etc. on a daily or weekly basis.
- To enhance your customer service
As mentioned in reason number 2, a business website would be of great assistance for individuals who are leading a busy lifestyle. With a few mouse clicks they can get access to information regarding your store hours, your products, pricing, etc. Furthermore, people who are regular e-mail users would appreciate it if they can send e-mail asking questions via your website all from the comfort of their own home or office.
- To protect your local market
Under the impact of globalization, there is a great chance that your existing and potential local customers go online and purchase goods/services (that your business specializes in) from other businesses. By having a website, your local market can be protected!
- To reach a specialized market
If your business is specialized (i.e. it concentrates on a distinct area, for example, mountain bikes, custom woodworking, dance/music lessons, law or real estate), then having a business website is a great way to exhibit your professionalism in your area of expertise.
- To stay competitive
A large number of companies in the UK, and indeed worldwide, already have a Web presence. Your competitors may already even be in that group of companies. Getting a professionally created website today will help you level the playing field and with the use of products such as Bizsub can help get you ahead.
- To sell online
For many small to medium-sized businesses, being able to sell their products/services through their business website is not a necessity. However, with the rapidly-increasing number of Internet users conducting business online, businesses may have to eventually consider this avenue, and it is indeed an excellent way to expand your market place and enhance your sales. Also, with tools such as shopping carts and automated pay systems like Paypal, (both are easily managed using a Carver website), your shop can effectively be open 24 hours a day 7 days a week providing the ultimate convenience for your customers.
- To save the environment
Wouldn't you like to be a little bit more environmental friendly to our Earth? With your business website, you may not need to print as many brochures or flyers as you had before. The amount of paper may only be equivalent to a few trees, but it all counts!
