Why do I need a website?
More and more businesses, no matter what their size, now have websites.
There are many advantages to having an internet presence, including 24 hour visibility to potential customers, as well as exposure to global markets.
The internet also provides the potential for:
- increased brand awareness
- simpler marketing
- easier, more flexible and time saving communication
- professional business email addresses
- opportunity for increased sales
- keeping up with competitors
Information gathered by Statistics NZ in 'The Household Use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Survey' for the December 2006 quarter states that "1.011 million households had access to the Internet at home" and "69% of individuals used the Internet in the previous 12 months". These figures were an increase from the 2001 survey, and are only going to increase further as the rest of the population comes online!
In our ever changing technological world, you can't afford to be without a website!
What about the future?
Businesses which do not have a website are going to be left behind!
The paperless society has begun to emerge. Potential customers are spending less time on their feet and phones. Many people will use the internet before anything else to search for a product or service.
If the product or service your company provides can not be sourced on the internet, you will be missing out on potential business.
So lets get started!
