Here are some reasons why you need your own web presence. As of 2002, statistics show that 71% of all the USA  has Internet access  and  that once a customer has Internet access, only 1 out of 7 continues to use the Yellow Pages to search for businesses. Additionally, these people use the Internet to research PURCHASES and SERVICES, not just information!

• You are able to better service your existing customer base.
• Your customers can get their questions answered 24 hours a day and set appointments with you on line.
• It provides instant credibility. (Most people know the expense and time involved with creating a site.)
• You will have a second store, a virtual storefront, where you can display, describe and sell your goods and services 24/7.
• No cost associated for a typical building. Examples: rent, utilities, insurance or employees that all work 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
• Display your entire inventory without the added cost of having to keep it in stock.
• You can bulk e-mail your existing customer base and potential customers without printing and postage costs.
• Update documents and manuals on-line, in one location, and have them available worldwide without additional costs.
• You don?t need to be a huge corporation to reach a large audience or pay thousands of dollars in advertising to be seen.
• You are able to target the market of your choice with your built in advertising tool.
• You can display previous work you have done on your web site, basically making your web site an on-line portfolio.
• Display special packages, hot deals and specials.
• You can have your customers pay for your product or service online without mailing in a payment.
• Offer preferred client coupons, discounts only available through your web site.
• You will capture the impulse buyer, something TV, radio and newspapers can never give you.
• You may eliminate the need for ever having to advertise the old fashioned way again. No more weekly or monthly expense, with little or no return investment.
• You can set pages aside on your site for customer testimonials to build interest and credibility in your business.
• You can stay ahead for competition by being pro-active in moving forward along with your customers changing needs. They want convenience, you give them what they need and you will keep them as customers.
• It?s like having a 24-hour salesman; you only have to pay once a month for double the work.
