| Product Information |
Do you need to provide your customers with the latest information on your products? Changing and updating product information and offerings on a web site is a great way to quickly get up-to-date information to your customers. Provide photos and detailed descriptions of your products. Emphasize why your products and services are far superior to your competition. |
| Generate Business Leads | Do you need to generate business leads? A web site provides an easy way for potential customers to find you by entering your web address or by using a search engine on the web to find you. Provide online coupons for new customers who found your company on the web. |
| Reduction in Advertising Costs | Do you need to reduce the cost of preparation and distribution of promotional materials such as brochures and direct mail advertisement? A web site provides a means of delivering this same information with little cost ... and without the overhead of processing all the direct mail. Leverage your current advertising costs by advertising your web address. Compare your current advertising and direct mail costs to our low web services costs. |
| Corporate Image | Do you want your customers to know more about your company? A web site is a great way for you to talk about your company. The more people know about your company and your products, the more comfortable they feel. Tell others your success stories. Put a picture of your building or your people to let customers know you are for real. |
| Survey customers | Do you want to survey customers and create new business opportunities? Your web site could be a cost-effective way to qualify potential customers and get valuable feedback from existing ones. Using customer response forms, you can get any type of information from current customers or potential clients. Provide web-based questionnaires to test market products or services. |
| Customer Service | Do you want to reduce your customer service costs? Many times you receive the same questions over and over from customers. Toll-free 800 numbers are expensive for a company and often frustrating for customers. Using a web site, you could move your customer service and support to the web by providing frequently asked questions and tech support online. |
| Customer Education | Are your customers looking for information and advice? Use your web site to educate your customers. Provide tips, techniques, ideas and suggestions for maximizing the benefit of your products or services. Produce a quarterly newsletter for your customers. This will keep them coming back to your site. |
| Electronic Commerce | Do you want to conduct business online? Do you want your customers to be able to place secure credit card orders to you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year? Using a web site, you can give your customers a shopping cart of your products, have them select the products they want to order, then electronically send your the order. |
| Networking with others | Do you network with others in your business? A web site is a great way to network with other people. Put your web site address on your business card. When you pass out your business card, you are essentially passing out your entire marketing brochure to others. |
| 24 hour sales, service and support | Do your customers need information and support after business hours? With a web site, your business is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Your customers will appreciate the convenience. |
| Changing Information | Do you find that information such as discontinued products, new products or prices change regularly? When you publish information via traditional media, the information can be outdated very quickly. Not with the web site. Your information is always up to date for the customer. |
