1. Gain more customers

Having an office and everything is good but the fact still remains that without a website, you are still limited

And you will never really know how much success you can achieve. Yes your business may be popular in your city

But does your business have any chance of surviving outside it? or will your business have to file for bankrupcy if you leave your city?

These are questions you need to answer and a good website will help you answer them because the internet can be classified as a global community

Cutting across thousands if not millions of societies, cultures and communities And that is why you need to take advantage of it.




2. Stay ahead of the competition

A lot of business owners and enterpreneurs miss the fact that no matter the decisions you take and the advancements you make

Your competitors are at it too and the easiest way to stay ahead of them is by using a website. Just taking advantage of  reports and infographics available on the internet

Can be the game changer you need.



3. Have greater awareness

I know i speak for most enterpreneurs when i say it is painful when put in your blood, sweat and tears into your start up only to be discovered by a few people.

It can bring down your morale but it does not have to be like that because with a website and the right content, you can attract more people than you can imagine

Because like i said earlier, the internet is a global community and because of that, you can easily take advantage


4. Enjoy a wider range of audience

Have you ever been overcome with frustration concerning your sales? or wondered where all your time, money and effort on your marketing strategy  is going to?

Trust me it's not strange and most times it doesn't mean the effort and recources your putting into your business is not enough.

Your business may just be trying to say 'i need something else'. In these cases, you need all the options you can get.

And the best way to get them is by turning to the internet. Your marketing options on the internet are limitless.

And the best part is you don't even have to spend up to half of your marketing budget for twice the audience.



5. Earn trust faster

I can't count the number of business opportunities i've lost because i didn't have a strong online presence but that is just the way people are.

A study performed in 2015 by Verisign shows that 84% of customers believe that  small businesses with websites are more credible than small businesses without one.

And to remain relevant in the 21st century, you need to have a small business website


6. Generate higher revenue

No matter how you try or how much money you spend on marketing, You may not get to the level of success you desire if you don't have a website.

Because for small businesses with websites, 69% generate between $1,000,000 and $2,490,000 and the bigger your business grows, the higher your revenue becomes

Amazon.com is a good example of such. Because it spends a lot to maintain it's site, it makes billions in revenue every year.
