Why do I need a website?

It’s a new world out there and our play patterns have changed.  We can’t leave the house without our cell phones, can’t start the day without checking our email and have even stopped flipping pages in books and magazines.  Even if this doesn’t describe you, it does describe your customers.

No longer are your customers opening that big fat yellow pages book to find a listing.  More likely, they are going to their computer and searching their favorite digital phone directory.  Be it Yellow Pages (www.yp.com) or City Search (www.citysearch.com) or Yelp (www.yelp.com), the digital directory is where your customers will be searching for your services.

Now, you may say, “Good, I am listed in those directories”.  However, did you know that most of your customers only call a company if they have a website listed in the directory?  That’s right, if you do not have a website in your listing most of your potential customers will skip over your listing and go to the next.

Why does your new digital customer overlook your listing?  Because they trust in their virtual reality.  Back in the day, a physical address or a Yellow Pages ad made your company and services stand out.  It presented you as creditable and legitimate.  Today, your website makes you stand out.  It’s the equivalent to a 5 page company ad and it allows the digital customer to trust you.

Times have changed and so has your customer.  Get your share of the new digital customer’s attention with an affordable website, custom designed, specifically for your needs.  Contact Look Ma I’m Online (www.lookmaimonline.com) today.
