Why
Do
You
Need
a
Wesite?
 Remember
the old days? You went down to
the town square to shop. That's
where the established and
aspiring small business owners
were. Then they started moving to
the 'malls'. Today, it's eBay,
Amazon, and thousands of other
aggressive entrepreneurs, all
online.
Brick
and motar giants such as
JCPenney, Walmart, Sears, all are
online. Have you ever wondered
why? Well, first and
foremost, they know they have to
be online. Their customers demand
it. Second, there are
unbelievable opportunities for
e-commerce. For one thing, your
store never closes. Your customer
base suddenly becomes the world
instead of your town. And third,
'Branding'. Starbucks, Nike,
Harley, Bud, TCBY. All brands.
Branding is nothing more than
creating an emotional tie between
your company, your product and
the consumer. A website is one of
the most cost effective ways of
doing this.

In
three short years,
Amazon became the
third-largest bookseller
in the world…To
help put that in
perspective: It took
Wal-Mart 12 years and 78
stores to hit $168
million in annual sales.
Amazon hit $1 billion
annualized sales after
just three and one-half
years. All without
opening a single store.
Fourth quarter
sales in 2004 were
$2.54
billion.

 In
1994, a mere 3 million people
were connected to the Internet.
By the end of 1998, more than 100
million worldwide were using it,
including 62
million Americans.
"Acording to
Internet
World
Stats
the Internet now has more than
888 million users. It's
growing so fast it's almost
impossible to track. The Internet
has become the marketplace of the
present and the future. And the
future is NOW! You
cannot afford to be left
out!
The Internet is
growing faster
than all other technologies that
have preceded it. Radio existed
for 38 years before it had 50
million listeners, and television
took 13 years to reach that mark.
The Internet crossed the line in
just four
years.
Business-to
business purchases, such as the
wholesale purchase of supplies,
reached $1
billion in 2001.
Two years
later, sales reached
$11.7 BILLION. According
to CNNMoney consumers spent $2.45
billion online between Dec. 13
and Dec. 19, 2004, an increase of
57 percent from a year earlier.
This routinely saves some of
America's largest companies
hundreds of millions of dollars
by lowering their cost and
reducing inventories.

the door to the future,
