On this issue I want to be discussing the advantages of Business Web Sites

1. It allows your business to compete on a the same level-ground with the big boys (businesses similar to yours but that are more bouyant financially and in term of resources).
2. It gives your business an online presence, thus expanding your market base and increasing your chances of getting new customers.
3. having a web presence is like having your business open 24 hours a day for people to find you.
4. Cost of having a web site is low compare to other marketing methods.
5. Since most consumers now search for information online prior to making a purchase at a brick-and-mortar store, your site may be the first chance you have at making a good impression on a potential buyer.
6. If you dont have a web site you are losing business to other companies that do.
7. Some business owners say they've got enough customers hence they dont need a web site. What they refuse to realise is that having a web site allow them the opportunity of increasing their income either by increasing cost of their product (or services) as demand increases or having more quality customers.
8. It allows you to always be in touch with your customers, for example by mailing them and informing them of your new product or services...
