Still think you don’t need a website?
For a long time, websites were seen as a status symbol for companies. However, we are in the age where having a website has proven to be a great asset in increasing business and revenue. We found an article on dwsmg.com that lists all of the ways that the internet can boost your business. If you can get past the grammatical errors, it actually suggests some great ideas… however, maybe they should have hired someone to create and edit their content… (like us, duh)! The article itself has a good theme; however, we have edited and listed what we consider the most important aspects of having a website for your company– to read the whole article, click here.
1. Time: Internet marketing can go around the clock 24 hours a day, 7 day
s a week, 365 days a year. Earlier in traditional marketing there used to be a time constraint. When one part of the globe is awake, the other part is sleeping, and now the internet is taking the best advantage of that. The time barrier has been broken simply because of internet marketing.
2. Geography: Marketers used to struggle with geographical hurdles. It used to take a person hours or even days to reach from one corner of the globe to another. Moreover, it used to take days for letters to reach their destination. The Internet has shrunk the world into a global village where the geographical barriers have melted and disappeared. Internet marketing knows no bounds.
3. Showroom: Before the age of internet marketing, it would have been required for a company to have a showroom to display products. This is not necessary now. Products for sale can be displayed on your website and the customer can order them from the comfort of their home. As a seller, the only thing you have to do is confirm the financial transaction and deliver the goods at the place specified by the buyer. This can save many expenses on the part of both the seller as well as the buyer. This saves a lot of time– essentially, the buyer can order the products any time.
4. Manpower: Internet marketing has not only opened the 
doors of marketing into people’s homes, but has also opened the minds of the people. With the help of internet marketing, a business can reach specific customers or specific clients simultaneously in a wide geographical area. If a company were to employ people for reaching a wide number of prospective clients or customers at the same time, it would cost them a fortune. Moreover, with such a large work force, the returns are not assured. In the case of internet marketing, the manpower needs are lesser in comparison to traditional marketing.
5. Advertisement and Product Promotion: In online marketing, the expenses for advertisement and product promotion are far cheaper than those expenses with reference to traditional marketing. Thus, online marketing can help the business reduce expenses for product promotion and advertisement, and in turn, save a lot of money.
We hope this helps you understand the value of having a website for you company!
