Editor's Notes
- More and more searches are done online than any other way, if people don’t see your business on the web, they will just turn elsewhere.
- Don’t just expect people to know what you have to offer, provide them easy access to learning more about what you have to offer.
- A business will lose credibility if a person is not able to search for them online. People will assume that the business is no longer open, or they may not get the information they seek and turn somewhere else.
- According to the Small Business Administration, small businesses that have websites are averaging $1.07 million more per year in sales than small businesses not online. That equates to 39% higher revenue.
- Expand your reach. Think bigger. The web shrinks the world and makes it easier for people to find you.
- According to the Small Business Administration, 50% of Internet sales are from new customers. Having a website significantly improves your customer reach no matter what services or products you offer.
- Don’t burden yourself or use up time from your staff to answer simple questions. Often calls come in because people are not able to find the information about you readily. Don’t waste your time and cut into your profit, have the simple information like your store hours or menu items easily available online.
- Build links, connect with business and increase awareness in your product.
