The Value Of Website Development For Entrepreneurs And Start-Up Businesses
The major participation of Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc. in the Philippine Business and Entrepreneurs Expo ’09 is symbolic of the importance of website development for entrepreneurs and start-up businesses.
Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc. owner and Managing Director, Mr. Jhermaine O. Fernandez, was a speaker during the entire five days of the event. His talks covered the definition, types, elements and benefits of a website; how to set up a website; internet marketing including email marketing, interactive ads, search marketing, viral marketing, and online public relations; search engine optimization; social media marketing through social networking sites, blogs, microblogs, photo-sharing and video-sharing sites, social news sites, podcasts and online forums; and website building and management.
Mr. Fernandez detailed the benefits that businesses can gain from having a website.
First of all, setting up a website is one of the cheapest and most cost-effective forms of advertising and marketing. For entrepreneurs, especially for start-up businesses, cost is often a stumbling block. Even the smallest business can afford to get a website upon start-up, though.
With a website, a business immediately establishes a presence worldwide and in its own locality. If the business has a brick and mortar office or store, the website can promote this and drive visitors to it. Even if a business cannot yet afford a brick and mortar office or store, however, the website itself can take its place. Product presentations as well as transactions and sales can be done through the website.
Even better than a brick and mortar office or store, a website remains open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It knows no time zone, no holidays. Thus, it gives a business unlimited opportunities for exposure and growth in new markets, expanding the potential customer base of the business and enabling the diversification of income streams.
A website is very convenient to visit for any potential customer located anywhere in the world, providing value and satisfaction. Proper use of search engine optimization and search engine marketing makes a website even more easily accessible to its target market.
A website also has much more flexibility than print advertising, giving the business owner the ability to make immediate changes as needed. New information can be instantly communicated to existing customers and the target market.
Today, the presence of a business online through a website also adds credibility to its name. It sends the message that the business is in touch with the needs of the current market and speaks its language.
A website also provides a venue for two-way communicative marketing when it allows feedback from visitors. A well-designed feedback system can act as cost effective market research for the business, as well.
Because of the enormous impact a website can have on a business, it cannot be a hit or miss project. A start-up business has to get it right the first time in order to make a good first impression. It is, therefore, recommended that the setting up of a business website be done in consultation with experts.
