| Ten
good reasons to have a Web site |
| |
1. You can make up-to-date product information available to customers
all over
the world, 24 hours
a day. |
| 2. Provide instant
gratification by offering free samples for download. |
3. Improve customer
service by, for example, providing answers to frequently
asked questions
on your Web site. Straightforward sales and information
requests can be
processed automatically and immediately, whether there's
anyone in the office
or not. |
4.
Set up an online shop - rent in cyberspace is much lower than they
are in
the real world!
Providing secure online ordering is now affordable even for the
smallest business. |
5. Online forms
can be used to allow customers to request quotations or ask
for further information.
|
6. Use the Web
to expand your market. If you want to trade internationally, or
even nationally,
the Web may be the most cost-effective way to do it. |
7. Gather information
about your customer at minimal cost - using online
surveys or simple
analyzing the traffic information collected by your Web
server can provide
valuable information. |
8. Provide personalized
information to individual customers based on their
preferences. No
other medium allows you to do this so cheaply. Your Web
site can add value
by providing something extra for your customers |
9. Steal a march
on your competitors. If they don't have Web sites yet - get
in there first.
|
10. Boost your
image. A well-designed Web site is a great way of instilling
confidence, and
looking bigger than you are! |
