1)
To Establish A Presence
A Web presence is a great way to compliment your existing marketing
plan. You can use your web site, banner ad and/or e-newsletter to inform
customers about your business's services and it makes word-of-mouth
advertising easier.
2) Educate
Use your Internet presence to educate. Potential clients will want to
know what you can do for them. Besides giving them information about
you, provide resources to educate them on why they need your services.
3) Leadership
Companies who embrace an online strategy will quickly find themselves
in a leadership position because of their increased exposure in the
global marketplace. Companies that ignore the web run the risk of having
their existing competitors and emerging "dot coms" exploit the web to
their advantage.
4) 24/7 Access
Having a website, banner ad and/or e-newsletter can help broaden the
scope of one's business. Customers shop & compare prices now more than
ever before & the Internet offers a powerful, quick & efficient way
to do so. If your competition is online, you should be there also. Your
customers can go online 24/7 to get answers & information about your
business.
5) Resource
Being online also helps to to reach new clients as your website, banner
ad and/or e-newsletter gives customers and potential customers all the
information about your business they need. Online customers will have
an immediate resource in their office for reference and referals.
6) Interact With Customers
Your best customers are repeat and referred customers. There is no better
way to keep customers coming back than keeping in touch with them. Through
your website, banner ad and/or e-newsletter you can interact with clients
by way of polls or surveys and special deals. When you keep in contact
it shows customers you care, one of the best ways to keep them coming
back.
7) Instant Legitimacy
As a customer you want to know the company you are buyiing from is legitimate
and runs a reputable business. A well designed website lends legitimacy
to your business and leads to increased sales.
8) Survey Your Audience
The Web is two-way, interactive, & quick communication. When a visitor
comes to your website, banner ad and/or e-newsletter they want to know
about your products, services or info. How can you find out exactly
why they came or what they're looking for? To get a handle on your potential
customer base you can set up a survey to figure out exactly what visitors
are interested in.
9) Level the Playing Field
Look & act bigger than you really are. By using multiple e-mail accounts,
even a 1 person business can look like a multi-person/department operation
through a company website. Having an online presence will enable you
to compete with much larger capitalized companies. A well designed website
presents a more appealing image than a larger competitor who's web presence
appears weak or amateurish.
10) 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. Just imagine the possibilities!
