Did you ever wonder why a url (uniform resource locator), that you put in the Google tool bar, starts with WWW? Did you ever know what it meant? WWW stands for World Wide Web, and no matter what type of business you have, from online home business, to a brick and mortar business you should be on the world wide web.
The latest stats for internet users is over 1 Billion and growing. That statistic alone should peak your interest for wanting to communicate and share your product or service with the world wide web.
Instant Success
As a brick and mortar business, you pass out flyers, business cards and maybe have an ad in the local newspaper. What happens if you decide to run a special? How long would it take to reach others using flyers and the newspaper? If you have a website on the internet, it could be done instantly and go out to billions of people.
Maybe you only want your ad to stay local, that is ok too. Just advertise the city your business is in for the special you have, and with the internet you will be able to reach everyone in your city.
Most businesses would run their ad in the yellow pages. What happens if you change your phone number, or the county changes your address? How will anyone find you? The ad you place in the yellow pages will not change for a year. However if you have a website on the internet, you can change anything, anytime you want. What better way to keep your customers informed of your location, phone and specials!
Say you own a restaurant and it is known as having the best burgers in town. People that travel now days search on the internet for restaurants and places to see before they take their trip. If they happen to search for a great burger and your website comes up, Bingo! They will be coming to see you when they hit town! How cool is that!
Lazy Days
Believe it or not there really are a lot of lazy people now days. They would rather order something off the internet than have to get in their car, drive a few blocks, or miles and go shopping. If you have an online marketing business, and there are literally billions of people on the internet, think of how many will be coming to your website and buying!
Before people will whip out their credit cards now days and buy from you, they want to know how trustworthy you are. Another reason to have your business on the world wide web. You can have all your information about your product, service and YOU along with testimonials for people to read, all on your website. You can also have an order form, so with a click of a button, people can buy from you directly off your site.
24/7 Business While You Sleep
Customers may have a lot of questions about your product or service and you really do not want to spend hours on the phone with them, that could possible take up your whole day. Having a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page on your website will eliminate all those phone calls. That way you can spend your time doing things more constructive than talking on the phone, answering the same questions over and over again.
Since the internet is a world wide web, what about all those foreign countries that may want to order from you? Could you just imagine getting phone calls at all hours of the night and day. With a website, they can order at anytime and you will not be loosing any sleep over it. How exciting to wake up in the morning and have sales already processed through your website! A 24/7 business while you sleep!
With the World Wide Web, what ever your product or service may be, you can reach anyone at anytime, anywhere! That is why you should have your online home business or your brick and mortar business with a WWW!
