Why should I
advertise on the internet?
Advertising is an important part
of any business. Millions of people use the internet everyday. More and
more people are purchasing computers and using the net each day. It is
estimated that there is over 1,000,000,000 new subscribers to the web each
year. The internet is one of the most powerful advertising tools ever made.
People will have access to your product or services with the click of a
mouse. In this ever changing world you need to keep up or you loose out.
Web pages are the best method to advertise your business. This allows your
firm to be open for business 24 hours a day. You don't even need to hire
extra staff to service all your new customers. Your orders will be waiting
for you each morning.
Advertising through flyers, using the media, etc can be very expensive
and it's effects only last for a short period of time from these methods
of advertising. Your web site will be advertising your firm/company for
24 hours a day, anywhere in the world.
Customers are the key factors to a successful business and more and more
customers are shopping via the computer. It's convienent, it's easy and
secure shopping is arranged. Many firms already on the web offer their
new customers a variety of methods of payments; either through Mastercard,
Visa, American Express and other major credit cards.
More and more businesses and professionals are being asked for their email
addresses and what better way to tell the world about you then by including
your web page address as well. Get the edge on your competition and draw
more potential clients to you and your business.
So, the question should be "Why shouldn't I advertise on the internet?"
What information
do I have to provide?
All you have to do is fill out an
online Customer Information Form. This form asks a few simple questions
that can help us get started.
Where is my
information stored?
All the HTML documents, graphics,
scripts, etc... that make up your site are stored on your Hosts hard drive.
New documents and alterations to current documents can be uploaded to the
drive through an FTP (file transfer protocol). Your FTP is protected with
a user login name and password for access.

Who uses the
internet?
You can deliver your marketing message
worldwide to millions. Everyone with access to the Internet (the current
estimate is over 55 million people) can see your message at any time day
or night. A potential customer can view your promotional material from
the comfort of their own home or the convenience of their own office. The
Internet can make vast amounts of information accessible to anyone with
a computer. With personal computers currently outselling televisions --
and 70 percent of those PC's being purchased for home use -- you are tapping
into a medium that has endless possibilities.
You can communicate directly with
your clients.
Through the use of e-mail, customers can send requests or receive information
quickly and inexpensively. You can, for instance, provide information on
special sales, last minute promotions or upcoming events to millions of
people all over the world without print or postage costs. By the same token,
your customers can send you requests for promotional material or provide
you with valuable feedback.
Create a new channel for sales.
New and secure encryption software now allows you to sell products and
services directly over the Internet. This new technology allows customers
to place orders by credit card without the fear of having their card numbers
stolen.
Position yourself for the future
and stay ahead of competition.
In the near future, almost every airline will be online because this technology
will continue to improve and expand. You don't want to be left behind.
The key is to stay ahead of your competition by using this technology to
your advantage. As of September 1997, there were over 20,000,000 Web sites
of which 18,000,000 were commercial.
