If your business has surpassed all the trials and challenges throughout the year-long global pandemic, then it probably means that your operations can withstand almost anything, may it be a natural disaster or an economic crisis.
With many businesses having ceased their operations because of the government regulated lockdowns, having a website has proved to be an important part of sales and operations to help keep your business going. A website does not only help you promote or sell your products and services online, but it also allows your users to distinguish your brand among your competitors. Especially now that many people are stuck in their homes and rely on the Internet just to get their needs and essentials, a website acts as your 24/7, always-online marketing arm, showing your users what your business is all about regardless of what time of the day and which part of the world they are living in!
If, just like us, you’ve survived the pandemic, then this is truly something to celebrate about! And yes, your business may be successful today; Yes, your business has social media pages that help you promote and engage with your customers - but the pressing question is always: can your business really withstand the longevity and loyalty of your client base without a website? Here we outline our reasons on why you need a business website right now (if you don’t have one yet!).
A website attracts customers through Google
You may be satisfied with your business’ success but every company experiences customer turnover or dropoff. In order to maintain growth, your next strategy should be to attract new customers. And what better way is there to attract more customers than to be visible in search engines, such as Google?
Of course we all know that an SEO campaign should be applied on your business website to help make it rank higher and in order to attract a steady stream of new customers. Add to this a Google Ads campaign directed at your website and you’ll be sure to attract new and repeat visitors to your website.
A website makes your business look more professional
Just like what we mentioned above, you may have your social media to keep your business on the Internet but that doesn’t mean that this is enough. Remember, your goal is to acquire new and more customers, so social media can help but it may not be enough.
According to research, 84% of today’s consumers look for the business’s website for credibility. Meaning that customers would inspect first what your business is all about by looking for its website to get more information. Some businessmen may think that a website is just a waste of financial resources, but the truth is, having a website instantly increases the legitimacy and credibility of the business or the brand - making users feel the professionalism in the company and giving them the confidence to make transactions or buy their products.
A website showcases your products and services 24/7
One of the main reasons why you started your website is because you want to showcase your products and services and tell everyone about what your business can do. Having a website allows your customers to have a look at your available products and services and what your business can offer at any time of the day, regardless of where they are at the very moment.
Having this information available through your website not only shortens the buying process for your consumers, but it ultimately helps them decide if they want to be your customer as well as instantly set expectations upfront on what your brand can offer them. The best part about this is, you are convincing your potential customers about your product while they are at the comforts of their own home - without having to lift a finger or without having to spend financial resources to explain to the customer what your brand is all about.
A website is reliable and easy to contact
Now that you have your products and services to showcase what your business can do, customers always require more information - and that is where your website Contact Page comes in. Having a website is a great opportunity to make your contact information easily accessible to your customers. To add more stimulation to keep your customers remember your contact information, you can publish it in your website’s header and footer so it appears on every single page. With modern website builders, creating a contact form is super easy and at the same time, protects your business email from receiving unknown spam.
A website is easy to locate
Since there is contact information in your business website for contact purposes, why not also add a location map to know where your business office is located? A Google Map or any map, for that matter, is so easy to integrate in your website that it’s almost a sin now to lead your customers to the wrong office location!
Integrating a location map on your website allows customers to walk in at their most convenient time or to choose your business over other competitors due to location or vicinity.
A website guarantees long term success
In 2020, it was estimated that 4.54 billion or 59% of the global population used the Internet. This number just continues to grow as the months go by. This means that keeping your business online ensures its longevity in the long run. Without a website, your business is virtually invisible and most likely won’t be able to reach a wider audience or clientele. If you have a business website, as the digital era progresses, so does your business through a modern website that you can manage anytime you want.
