Why businesses these days should have a website?
A business without a website is at a real disadvantage in this age of Digital Information. It acts as a twenty four hour a day online shop for businesses (whether big or small) and which can be used to reach a wider audience instead of just using traditional methods of marketing such as Leaflets or adverts in Newspapers, Trade Journals or the Yellow Pages. These days people tend to search the internet for businesses and services and it would make sense for any business to promote their products or services online as well as their contacts and their social media pages.
Not to do so would be like them basically be saying “I don’t want any customers” and they’ll be losing out to their competitors. An online presence for businesses has also become a vital way of building a brand to create a positive impression where people can view testimonials from previous customers so as a potential customers can decide whether or not to become buying ones.
