20 reasons to get connected
1. To Be Ahead of your Competition. The World Wide Web currently boasts over
32 million users and is growing at a phenomenal rate. You can not afford to ignore this
population, no matter what your business is. Being a part of this community shows that you
are interested in your customers. You know your competitors are on-line. You must be on
the WWW.
2. Networking Business is
connecting with other people. Exchanging business cards, a normal custom at meetings and
seminars. Your web page is like a pubic relations employee, passing out thousands of
business cards to potential clients. Your web site announces to the world "this is
what I do" and "I can be reached 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
3. Provide Information.
Think of a normal printed advertisement, telling where you are located, what you do and
how to get in touch with you. Now think of an automated ad, that you can change every week
if you like, that millions of people around the world can access. Anyone, anywhere, can
find out your business, new products, specials, etc. at the push of a button...That's the
World Wide Web.
4. Customer Service Improves. Forms can be available on-line so that your users can order your product or
service from the comfort and convenience of their home or office. A search engine could
make information available to your customers that they would have previously had to phone
you to inquire about, freeing up your staff. Customers can review records, product
specifications, brochures, instructions, or other personalized information on-line.
Another feature on the WWW.
5. Increase Public Attention. Because the WWW is still a new and interesting novelty, web sites are written
about daily in newspapers and mentioned on television shows. This can become free
advertising for your business. In addition, publishing your web and e-mail address on your
company stationery, brochures, and business cards reminds your customers to your
commitment to customer service and staying up to date with technology. Since anyone in the
world who is connected to the Net can access your site, there is no better way to spread
the word and generate interest in your business.
6. Release Up to the minute materials. Announce winners to a contest, publish stockholder information, company
financial reports, updates on new programs, and more, quickly and easily via your web
site.
7. Sales on-line. Technology is up to par with the ability to sell products
on-line. Consumers are getting more comfortable with the idea of shopping on the Web. The
list of firms doing well in this arena is growing daily. Your customers will be on-line
shopping, don't let your sales be taken away by your competition.
8. Video, Sound, and Pictures. Much more than a printed ad or brochure, the web allows for demonstrations of
your products. Video clips, sound files, and Multimedia are becoming more and more common
on the web.
9. The web's demographic market. Highly paid, college educated males make up 2/3 of the current demographic market
of the WWW. This is changing at a rapid rate, yet still the survey's show that the web is
populated by a group of people ready and able to buy.
10. Answer Frequently Asked Questions on-line. Help save phone time of your staff who answer the same questions over and over
at your offices. Customers need these answers in order to do business with you. Free up
time of your phone operator, and allow access to useful information after office hours
too.
11. Reach International Markets. Your web page is as easily accessible to someone with net access internationally
as it is to someone on-line who is just across town. If your business lends itself to
international interest, the web is a great way to get started, without the former mail and
other regulations that may have been barriers to your entry prior to the www. Overseas
offices can easily communicate to the home office simply and inexpensively via the web
site.
12. Provide 24 hour service. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, a web page is available to serve your customers,
partners, and associates. Time zones become less of a obstacle, in the US, and this is
even more convenient if your business extends overseas. Overtime, or day and night charges
like the phone, aren't an issue on the web. While you are sleeping, your web site can be
conducting business for you, gathering information, that can be waiting for you when you
get to your office in the morning.
13. Information Changes-not a problem. Printed material that needs changing can be expensive in time and resources. Once
it is printed there is little you can do other than pay for the printing all over again.
With electronic publishing there is no paper, no ink, no postage. Mistakes and updates are
easy and inexpensive. A database attached to your web site can be customized as often as
it is accessed, allowing changes throughout the day if need be.
14. Customer feedback. Forms
on-line can get you instant customer feedback with no additional cost to you right from
your web site. Responses from your customers, while they are thinking about your inquiries
when visiting your web site, can lead to new sales, and help you fix problems before they
happen. Much more convenient for your client than a form they have to take the time to
fill out and mail back, if you go to the trouble of supplying all this, an on-line
questionnaire saves both cost and time.
15. Testing New Services and Markets. New product or service idea? Advertising, printing, expense, time and trouble.
After establishing your presence on the web, your customers will easily be of assistance
in evaluating your new product or service idea, prior to public knowledge. Your clients
benefit from sneak previews of new products and services, and you benefit from their
responses before final release to the general public.
16. Media contact. Information
is what the web is known for, so the media are there just for that purpose. Several firms
make it their focus to produce on-line press kits for promoting firms and it's all done
on-line. Press releases for your own organization can be made available at your web site,
making it easier for the media to utilize your words about your own products and services.
17. Reaching Youth and Academia. Most universities already offer Internet access to their students. Many K-12's
are coming on-line now. Books, music, clothing, sports are some examples of markets that
are reporting great success on the web with the youth market now.
18. Your Home Town. Currently
there are many companies that are doing extremely well, even if their entire web business
is purely a local customers. Your competition if not on-line already is probably thinking
of it.
19. Marketing Specialties. Since
the Internet is easily navigated by searching for specific words, the web is a great place
to be to put your product or service on-line for finding by the individuals who are
looking for you.
