Many business owners ask, “Since I have a small business and we don’t sell anything online, do I need a website?”
The answer is YES!
You probably already have a Facebook page, but it's not a real website. A website lets you do more than update statuses, share photos and videos and connect with friends. A website brings value to your business by helping potential customers find you and learn what you have to offer. That's why it pays to have one - whether people are searching for products or services on their phones or they're sitting at home with their laptops in front of them.
1. Customers Expect It
Six out of ten people expect brands to provide online information about their business online and more than half go straight to a website for product information
2. Provides Proof
90% of all consumers claim online reviews influence their buying habits. You can list reviews to your site to add credibility.
3. Tell Your Story
Make sure you are getting your brand message to the clients how you want to, give your company history, and what makes you passionate about your product or service.
4. Competitors Have Websites
Studies show that once a consumer has made up their mind of what they want, 72% of them go online to find educational material, reviews and testimonials. Don't let the competition reap all the rewards!
5. Always Online
You don't have to work 24/7, but some people like to shop or find more information when you may not be available to help.
6. Appear In Google Results
81% of consumers perform research before making a purchase. Google is a great place to get your business in the top of the rankings of results. If you don't have a website, your chance of showing up in Google are 0%
7. Showcase Your Work
You have a chance to showcase what you have to offer with great imagery, videos and copy with a reason to use your product or service.
