Even if you’re not selling anything, having a website for your business is essential.
One of the most important and frequently asked questions by many is
“My business is very small, not more than three employees, and we don’t sell anything online. Do I need a website?”
The answer to this question is, yes.
If you have a business, you should have a website. If you don’t have one, you’re losing business to others that do have one.
Also, don’t quickly come to a conclusion that your product can’t be sold online. Millions of shoppers are online, purchasing everything from books to real estate to natural gas. You would have only begun to imagine it, but someone may have already figured out how to sell it online.
People use internet like they used phone book years ago. Having a website for your business is like putting your name in the new age phone book.
Even if you aren’t at work, your website will be. Customers can know about your business at their convenience. It is better than passing business cards to thousands of people.
Getting found in a crowded market space is a challenge. By having a website for your business, you can increase online visibility and differentiate yourself from competitors.
Getting people to give information (e.g. email) through a website can be easy as opposed to physically handing it over on a piece of paper.
No matter the type of business you do, through a website you can showcase your expertise and demonstrate your work in a unique way.
Having a website for your business gives you an automatic internet presence and improves online marketing efforts like blogging and SEO.
Through a website, you can send emails and proposals, answer inquiries quickly.
Having a website for your business does not mean that you must put all your efforts into selling online. You must at least have a web presence so that potential customers and investors can quickly find out about your business.
That said, if you want to be taken seriously, it’s not enough if you just have a website for your business.
