The 7 Compelling Reasons for You To Launch Your Website Today
Once you’ve made the decision to start a website, when should you begin?
The short answer to this question is: as quickly as possible. Here are several reasons why this is true.
First, you won’t actually begin benefiting owning your site until it is launched. The benefits can mean more revenue, and also many result in reduced costs to address customer service problems. One use of a business website is to show customers how to use your products right on the website itself, saving your staff from dealing with these issues on the phone.
Secondly, aged domain names have a tendency to rank higher in Google searches than younger domains. So the older your domain, the better advantage you have in web searches.
Third, once your site is up and running, you can begin promoting it. Since the effects of such promotion are cumulative, and you or your representatives can only do so much every day, you will want to start on promotion as soon as possible. Some of the promotion you can do include articles, video, press releases, commenting on blogs, and forum marketing.
Fourth, the sooner you get your website up and running, the sooner you can start “catching up” with your competitors.
Fifth, any effort that you put in today will give you a lead over your competition who are not online. People often put off starting a website, believing it will be time-consuming and difficult.
Sixth, if you have a website, it lends a certain credibility to your business and causes people to be more likely to want to do business with you.
Seventh, having a website can give you increased “points of contact” with prospects. This is important because it often takes about seven contacts with you before a prospect is ready to make a buying decision. Those points of contact can be in person, by phone, by postal mail, or via the internet. If you have helpful articles or tools on your site, you can speed the process along dramatically.
