The answer to this question is really "what do you want it to do?" There are many advantages to putting your business online. Having a business website may be as simple as letting people know your phone number and opening hours, or as complex as a searchable database of your products.
Think of the benefits:
- Reduced communication, customer service, and marketing costs.
- Increased sales.
- Keep up with your competition - they are already online.
- Offer instant information, and fast communication to your customers.
- Create customer relationships with newsletters.
- Increased brand awareness.
It's important to know the purpose of your website:
-
To showcase your products.
-
To sell your products online.
-
To give information on your products or services.
-
To give general information about your business.
-
To provide a community for your customers.
-
To provide easy and fast for your customers to contact you.
-
To reach global customers.
Remember - you don't have to sell online, to increase sales through your website.
"58% of small business owners found that their sites acted as a stimulant to sales made in the site owner's real-world place of business" (E-Commerce Times, 21/09/01).
Customers want to research your products on your website, and then buy from your business in the traditional, offline way.
