When I decided to set up my own company my first thought was – I need a website. Why was that my first thought? For me it was easy…. I need to showcase my skills and I need a shop window to do it. My clients need to know who I am and what I do.
When you’re looking at spending hard earned cash, the first question you should always ask is WHY?
If you’re not sure whether you need a website…… here are some of the reasons why you just might:-
- Customers…… Customers and more Customers. Amazingly, the internet was used by 3.2 billion people in 2015!
- You need a shop window. If your business exists in the social media world e.g you have a Facebook page – Your customer will be looking for the next click, more than likely they will be looking to find out more information about you or your product. A website can hang all your social media together, like a tree with lots of branches!
- You want to showcase your products. You know you have a great product or service your customers should be biting your hand off to buy from you……. time to show the world just how good they are!
- Its free. There aren’t third parties taking a cut of your profit by selling your products for you!
- You can influence your customers – you can identify your customers problem and sell your business as their solution! ‘Summer wardrobe a bit out of date……. Time to treat yourself!’
- You can communicate directly with your customers, blog about special offers, events that are coming up, show photos of new products/ promotions.
- Your customers can look at your website whenever/ where ever they choose ….. its 24 hours a day and at their convenience!
- The world wide web is global. Is your business seasonal? ‘Can I only sell my knitwear products in the winters months’? Winter months are all year round if you count both hemispheres in your marketing strategy!
