The Internet has been called the great equalizer, and for good reason - everybody looks the same. Joe's Fish and Bait Shoppe can mount just as impressive a website as International Worms and Lures, the big, multi-national conglomerate.

Potential customers don't see a hundred thousand square foot office complex or the fridge in Joe's garage - all they see is Joe's website and Joe's message. And you know what? When the product and offer is right, they don't care! Most folks want confidence in their purchase and know that you are there to stand behind it if something goes wrong. For many, that confidence comes from a professional appearance and business like manner, things that you can present on your website.

Now that you're on equal footing with the big boys, what's your message and what can you do for your customers? The "web" is a tremendously versatile place and there is almost no limit to what you can do. You can sell, you can inform, you can reach people anywhere in the country or the world. You can provide freebies to customers at almost no cost to you, that will keep them coming back to your website day after day. And each time they come back, they see your message. What do you want to say to them?

Is that not enough? Here are some more things you can do with a website:
  • Provide customer service, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with help files, diagrams, answers to common problems and a way for people to help themselves. For many help desks, the same problems arise time and time again. Answer them once and let your customers help themselves.
  • Answer Frequently Asked Questions about your products, your business, your shipping costs or directions to your store. You can now answer your potential customers questions before they are asked.
  • Provide potential customers with datasheets and literature that allows them to create a desire for your product or service. When they're searching the web for information, do you want them to find yours or your competitors?
  • Announce your latest news and product releases - what good is that big sale if nobody knows it's going on? How about the special hands-on class you worked so hard to put together - it's a great idea but how are you going to get people interested?
  • Run an "always open" store for late night shoppers.
  • Offer free downloads and give-always, a great way to get people coming back for your latest message over and over again.
  • Collect information for your in-house mailing list - these are people that actively came looking for what you sell - don't let them get away without finding out who they are!
  • Promote special offers, closes outs and offer slow moving goods at special prices to turn inventory - a great tool that gets your walk-in customers out of the habit of waiting for the next big sale (and they don't even have to know its you!).
  • And much, much more limited only by your imagination!

People who find you on the web didn't just wander past your shop and decide to come in. They came looking for what YOU sell. Do you really want to pass up a chance to present your message to these people? Can you afford Not to have an Internet presence?
