I here this all the time from people who run their own business. “I have my clients”, “I’m not looking for any more clients”, “I’m in the phone book”,? and so on. People still think that having a website is solely for trying to acquire more business or sell stuff. Owning a website should be one of the first things any new or existing business should have. Not convinced, well here are 20 reasons:

1. Establish A Presence
2. Networking
3. Making your businesses information available to the public
4. To better serve your customers
5. To heighten the public’s interest
6. A place your clients can go for updates about your business. (closures, cancellations, holiday hours, etc…)
7. Sell stuff
8. To make videos, photos and press releases available
9. To better help you reach your demographic market
10. To be able to answer your customers and potential customers questions
11. To stay in contact with sales people, distributors, manufacturers, etc…
12. Possibility to open international markets
13. To create service 24/7
14. To Make Changing Information Available Quickly
15. To be able to get feedback from your clients and visitors
16. Ability to test the market with new services and products
17. Reach the media
18. To Reach The Education and Youth Market
19. Reach the specialized market
20. And of course to serve your local market

So before you put aside the idea of having a website for your business (no matter what size) you should think about all the benefits besides just selling stuff or trying to to get more business. Having an online presence is as important as any other aspect of your business. Not having a website is like not having business cards or not caring about what your clients think about your business.
