Everyone is telling you that your business or organization needs a Website.
But for the life of you, you can't think why you would want or need one.
If you don't believe a presence on the World Wide Web would help you, consider
if any of the following statements apply to you:
1. You have some information
that would be helpful or interesting to someone somewhere.
- If your goals are educational, you can reach more people through the
internet than any other way. People from all over the world will now have
access to your information.
- The Internet is full of technical information to help and educate people.
- And it can be fun! With pictures, sounds, animation, and the ability
to interact with your visitors, your message becomes more vibrant than
through traditional printed media.
2. You have a product you would
like to sell.
- Provide product information and/or pricing.
- Tell potential customers how to contact you.
- Allow your customers to order online.
3. You want to let people know
about your business or organization.
- Reach more people than by handing out your business card.
- Keep your product information up-to-date.
- Add your Website visitors to your mailing list.
4. You have customers who need your support.
- Your Website is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
- Answer frequently asked questions.
- Provide phone and fax numbers and addresses so your customers can contact
you.
5. You want feedback from your
customers.
- Provide a feedback form to make it easy for your customers to give you
their input.
- Conduct product surveys.
- Conduct customer service surveys to find out how you can improve.
6. You want to make contact with others.
- Network with your peers.
- Ask for volunteer services.
7. You want to expand your business, domestically
or internationally, or both.
- E-mail saves $$$ on your phone/fax bill.
- You don't have to worry about time differences.
- You can offer your information in multiple languages.
8. You need to transfer information to other
branches, salespeople on the road, international affiliates, publishers,
etc.
- Transfer documents cheaper and faster than by UPS, FedEx, etc.
- Unlike a fax, your documents arrive in color!
- Password protect your files if extra privacy is needed.
If none of the above apply to you, then you really don't need a Website.
But, as you can see, most people will gain some benefit from a Website. Your need might
be as simple as a single page listing contact information, similar to a yellow
pages listing. Or maybe you would like to invite your Website visitors to
be added to your mailing list, or list volunteer opportunities for your non-profit
organization, or set up a password protected section to transfer business
documents to employees on a business trip.
The World Wide Web is a powerful
business and educational tool; don't miss the opportunity.
