The reality is, you don’t need to be tech savvy, getting a professional website for your business can be cheap and we make it easy, and to make it even simpler for you – not having a website is costing you time and money! </font> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> Check this statistic out… 81% of people research a business or service on the internet prior to making a purchase decision. That’s 25.92 million people searching for businesses online. Yet, 46% of business owners listed “Business currently doesn’t need one” as their #1 reason for not having a website. We’re not statisticians, but we can see that this mentality needs to be changed.  </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <span> Still unsure if your business needs a website? Keep reading… </span> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <span> <span> 1. Having a website will attract new customers to your business and make you more money. </span> </span> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> We like this stat so much, we’re mentioning it twice: 81% of people research a business or service online prior to making a purchase decision. If you don’t have a website, you have no chance at capturing a share of this market.  </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> Your website can be available 24/7/365 even when you’re not. A website acts as your “always-on” business advocate during and outside of office hours. </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> Websites help you convert more of your existing referrals, because most people still do their own research and stack you against your competitors. </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <span> 2. Add instant credibility to your business simply by having a website. </span> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> The 21st century consumer is a skeptic; in fact, 56% of people stated that they won’t trust a business without a website. Having a good website instantly boosts your credibility as a legitimate business. </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> First impressions count, and websites allow you to make a very strong impression with a well designed introduction for your business. </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> A website can help showcase your expertise and better position your business. A website can be your number one tool for standing out in a crowd. </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <span> <span> 3. It’s not as hard, or as expensive, as you think. </span> </span> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> You don’t need to be tech savvy to get a website. Many web development companies have very simple signup processes which make the process quick and painless for you. </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> It can be very cost effective. Websites offer a better return on investment than any other form of advertising. If you’re planning to market your business, a website should be your first priority. </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> Over time the relatively low investment of getting a business website will pay dividends by driving you new customers and building your brand. Plus, it’s a legitimate business expense and a tax write off. </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <span> 4. Having a website will end up saving you time. </span> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> Whether you’re trading emails, taking calls, or sending out proposals – communicating with potential customers takes time. Your website can save you that time by providing answers to common customer questions and inquiries. What does this mean for you? You can spend your time doing more valuable things. </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <span> <span> 5. Position yourself and stay in control of your brand. </span> </span> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> A website acts as a platform for your messaging and shapes the online perception of your business in a way that your social media channels cannot provide. </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> The platform allows you to position yourself in the market to get the exact type of customers you’re looking for. </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> Many business owners have been reviewed online, sometimes unknowingly and/or negatively. How does this affect you? 79% of users who read online reviews, believe them. Combat that negativity by posting your own positive testimonials. </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> <div> <span> So what are you waiting for ?  </span> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> Get started with Striverr today!  </font> </div> <div> <font color="#000000"> <br/> </font> </div> </span> <div> <font color="#000000"> </font> </div> </div> Fri, 13 Mar 2020 21:50:42 GMT chase@tflyerz.com (Chase Ainsworth) https://www.striverr.com/the-top-5-reasons-why-every-business-needs-a-website thumbnail main image
