What can the Web do for You? The Internet is a cost effective means for advertising providing from local to world-wide coverage. It has been shown to greatly increase product visibility and exposure to potential consumers at minimal annual cost. It can increase sales and overall productivity, and provide convenient and inexpensive customer support. If you have been spending money on newspapers, brochures, and other traditional advertising media, the Web can provide much of the same type of information to a wider audience for a fraction of the cost. Why choose the Web to promote your business? No other advertising/marketing resource offers as much creativity and versatility as the Internet. The Web allows the fusion of text-based documents with graphics, images and animation to give your company worldwide exposure, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Web has an estimated 40 million users and is the fastest growing direct marketing opportunity in history that you cannot afford to miss out on! The Web has something to offer everyone. If your company offers products or services, your Web site can accommodate online, or mail-in orders, provide information and view your current products and increase your sales. The Web enables you to get feedback on the effectiveness of your advertising and allows you to learn immediately what your audience thinks of your product and your message. The World Wide Web will touch an increasing number of potential customers and that is why the Web should have a place in every company's marketing program. WEBari can provide an attractive design to meet your business needs and pocketbook. Why should a local business organization or community Chamber of Commerce have a Web site? Most local service industries such as, auto repair garages, travel agencies, barber and beauty shops, dry cleaners and restaurants have generally hesitated to promote their products over the Internet. However, they can use the Web successfully by posting hours of operation, brochures, special discount sales and coupons, contacts and phone numbers, branch locations and other useful information directed towards the consumer. By having their local business organization host the site, many local small businesses can have a presence on the Internet at a very small cost to them. Such a Web site acts as a local products and services index for the community that is always available to those interested in those services. This method also provides a sense of community that currently does not exist very much on the Internet as well as allow people who are moving into the community to find the local products and services that are available to them. WEBari offers a group business package where the primary site would belong to the local business organization while each business would have their own page off the site directory as well as a separate printable location and direction map. Each individual business can refer to their own web address in their advertising (i.e. www.cham-of-com.com/eds-pizza). Why should a local township have a site on the Internet? Townships have many departments, officers and committees that often need to be in contact with residents, future residents, building contractors, state and county personnel, etc. The cost of printing and mailing material to these organizations and individuals can be substantial. A Web site is just the place for a township to set up a directory that can contain information such as:
What about a personal Web site? Although usually not used for commercial means, some people like to have a Web presence to promote their avocational interests. Some like to express their writing or photographic creative abilities. Others enjoy showing their hobbie interests, whether it is collecting antique books and postcards or sky diving. Personal sites are also often used to locate others having common interests, and sometimes lead to forming small home businesses. Some people try to create their own personal sites, but more often than not, produce results that are unattractive and not well organized due to their lack of technical and design experience. Personal sites are usually small in size and, therefore, are actually relatively inexpensive for WEBari to develop. The final results, however, is a professional looking personal presence on the Web. So how much does it cost? Most Web designers will take months or longer to develop a Web site with costs in the many thousands of dollars. A WEBari web site can cost anywhere from $250 to a few thousand dollars for the design, depending on your interests and requirements. Of course, both the design and the costs are as individual as the business itself. We invite you to check out our services and pricing ... and see our portfolio. |
