The
Internet is growing at an amazing rate. Internet World Stats
research indicates there are over 230 million Internet users
in North America alone. According to Trendwatch as of October
2007 there were almost 150 million websites for surfers to
choose from.
Is
your business on the Internet? It needs be!
Here
are the top twelve reasons your business should be on the
Internet:
#12 To reduce costs by showing your products on the web instead
of printing brochures.
#11 To provide a map to your business location. Sometimes
finding you is the hard part.
#10 To allow you to update your information and pricing as
frequently or infrequently as you need.
# 9 To be more responsive to customers by allowing them to
give feedback and you to respond in a timely manner.
# 8 To reach a highly desirable market because the largest
group of Internet users are
teenagers through college-educated adults with a high salary
or disposable income.
# 7 To provide basic information that establishes credibility
and shows you are serious about your business. Having your
own company domain reinforces your legitimacy as a serious
business. (According to IntelliQuest 68% of US web users shop
online.)
# 6 Using the Internet for your business is very cost effective.
# 5 Communicate anywhere in the world with customers and employees
by email and pay NO long distance telephone charges.
# 4 To network with customers and other businesses especially
since much of what passes for business is simply nothing more
than making connections with other people.
# 3 To market specials since reaching your customers via the
phone, sending a letter, or FAX is be time-consuming and expensive.
With the Internet you can send an e-mail to 500 of your best
customers with the click of your mouse. Also you can put a
"SPECIAL" notice on your website advertising and
reach new customers you don't have email addresses for.
# 2 To reach your local market because even though the Internet
reaches the world many customers use the Internet to find
out information about for local businesses as well.
