A few days ago, a fashion and design company contacted me for digital marketing services. The business has been running for two years, but it's now on the verge of liquidation.
I realized the brand doesn't have an online presence. No website, no social media platforms, and the owner knows nothing about digital marketing. But how can a brand succeed in today's world without an online presence? I suggested we create a professional website for the brand and the owner just confirmed that the start-up is getting back on track.
You can all agree with me that almost everyone checks products on the internet before making purchase decisions. Therefore, this article discusses why a website is essential for your business growth. Read on.
Building Brand Awareness
A strong digital presence matters a lot in creating brand awareness. You can achieve this by having a quality business website. The site will help consumers and prospects learn about your brand, hence increasing sales.
Look at the most successful companies in the world; Apple, Microsoft, Saudi Aramco, SoftBank group, IBM, Amazon, and coca cola. How did you learn about them? Through their websites, right? Therefore, if you want your brand to succeed today like these companies, build a quality website now.
Generating Leads
You generate more leads and boost your sales once prospects are aware of your brand. Do you know how? Once people read about your products online, they become interested in knowing more about your services. So, they gather all contact information about your company and services from this website.
These prospects will learn how to contact you and where to find your store from your site. A good number of them automatically become regular customers.
Building Trust
It's challenging to gain credibility from purchasers if you don't have a business website. Remember that several companies are offering the same products and services as you. The worst thing is that the market has several scammers selling counterfeit goods and offering sub-standard services.
So, how will consumers differentiate you from them? Have a professional website, and share quality information about your business with your prospects, just like Coca-cola and other successful companies in the world. This will help your brand stand out from the market competition. Note, without a website, consumers will have endless questions about your brand's legitimacy.
Final Thoughts
In this day and age, no business can make it past the five-year mark without an online presence. Regardless of the industry, a quality business website is indispensable for your brand's success.
