Does my Business need a website?
Are you one of those people who askes ‘Does my Business need a website? It may be that you have been trading quite nicely on Social Media or you sell online through your Etsy Store, so your not sure if you need to have a Website? But to put it quite simply YES your business does need a website…
Imagine one morning you wake to find that your social medial channel had been removed? And that all the followers you had built up were also gone!
If you think it won’t happen to you, think again! What makes you so certain that it could not happen to you? It can and it does and that is exactly what happened to an influencer who I follow. She had 40K followers and was a Brand Ambassador for many big brands and one Saturday morning her Instagram account was no longer there. I can’t even begin to imagine how awful that would feel! I bet she is asking herself Does my Business need a website?
Your social media channels should be the tools in your toolbox, not a place to solely promote your business. One of the many ways to drive business to your website, not the foundation to your business.
So if you are currently only using Facebook, Instagram, Etsy, etc for your online presence, I urge you to consider investing in a website. Having a website is a solid investment in securing your business, especially if you go for a WordPress website.
So what are the benefits to having a website
Trust & Credibility – one of the biggest benefits of having a website is it helps build trust in your business and brand. Without a website, people question your legitimacy as a genuine business.
Brand – not only do you showcase your brand but it also helps you create the right first impression. Also having a website can have a massive impact on the success of your business
Online 24/7 – having a website means you are open even when you sleep! Meaning your customers can find you whenever they want.
Sets you apart from your competition – Having a well-designed website sets you apart from your competitors. It also helps you achieve a higher price for your goods and services as you look more professional.
Helps with your SMO (social media marketing) – having a website means you have somewhere to direct clients to from your social media channels, which is far more professional than only having social media channels.
