Online Presence of Your Business and Its Benefits

Even if your business has nothing to do with the Internet, you cannot pass up the chance to create an online image. Indeed, a Web site has become a business necessity. Not only is it an inexpensive way to buttress your image and tell people who you are, but it is also an opportunity to sell more, get more customers, make more money, and impress strangers.

And you need not be Amazon to be successful. In fact, you probably don’t want to be. Your business Web site should, in all likelihood, be a clean, simple, elegant place that does a few things very well.

Your home page should explain what your business is and what the Web site is about. It should be simple and easy to load. Inside, your business address and contact information should be easy to find. Features and benefits of working with you should be prominent.

Beyond that, what you do with your site is up to you. You may want to consider having some features that keep people coming back, because the more they come back to your site, the more likely it is they will buy from you.

You can offer such things as:

  • Interactivity. E-commerce interactivity means providing interactive tools that enable potential customers to learn more about your products. It could also mean offering chat rooms, message boards, or newsletters. Streaming video is a possibility.
  • Members only areas. Some businesses offer members only domains on their Web sites, where they offer access to premium information, tools, and services. Think about AOL for a moment. It is nothing but a huge members only Web site; not a bad model.
  • Content. On the Internet, content is king. A site without good, arresting, useful, timely content is a site that is probably going nowhere.

Think about the sites you like. What is it that draws you there? In all likelihood, good content is near the top of your list, where do you get your content? You can write it yourself or hire someone to create content for you.

 Another option is to buy syndicated content. Syndicated columns, news, horoscopes, weather, sports, and comics can be an economical way to go.

How do you get a good, clean professional site without spending a fortune? You can hire a Web designer, you can do it yourself, or you can go to a one-stop shop. Web designers are expensive for most businesses ($1,500 and up). If you can afford one, great, because they can give you a great look. Web designers can be found in the Yellow Pages or online by looking for one on a search engine.

Unless you are familiar with a Web design program, designing your site yourself is not easy. Not only is it time-consuming, but it can be frustrating and ultimately end with a poor result.

The most cost-effective solution may be to find a one-stop shop that hosts your site and designs it too. Many e-commerce solutions providers make it very easy for you to find a one-stop solution for doing business on the Internet.

These new partnerships often combine site hosting, store setup, and credit card processing into a single package specifically designed for small businesses.

However you choose to go, it is essential that your business find its way onto the Web.
