Beating The Credit Crunch
There is no doubt that in these hard economic times, just to “have a web site” is not good enough – it has to be working more effectively for you than ever before. It has genuinely got to help save you admin time and money by providing information that you would otherwise have to spend resources [such as wages, printing, postage] delivering, AND it has to help drive sales and increase revenue.
On the basis that most people either find you via a search engine or simply type your web address in having seen an advert, letterhead or business card, your web site plays a vital role in helping you to give a good first impression. If your site is professional, clean looking, easy to navigate, contains the right kind of information and is up to date, that first impression will be good. If your site is a bit dated and/or contains out of date information, that first impression won’t be so good.
When you yourself look at someone’s web site for the first time, if your first impression of them is good, you’ll think about doing business with them. If it’s not, you are already prejudiced against them – even if they turn out to be OK!
Let’s put it another way. If a rep drove to your office for a meeting to try and get your business, they’d stand a better chance of getting it if they turned up on time, were polite, neatly dressed, knew their facts and had taken the time understood your business and how their products might help your business.
In essence, that’s all your web site has to do. The real point is that if you are going to have a web site, it may as well be a good one that actually serves your needs – especially as it takes the same amount of effort to do it right as to do it wrong. To continue the rep analogy – since they’ve spent the time and the petrol driving over to you anyway, they may as well do all they can to get your business whilst they are there!
