3 Reasons Why You Need a Website Now
by Kevin Nunley (7strategy.com)

It baffles my mind how many business owners still don't have a web presence. I hear from people every week who insist that, "It ain't broke, so why fix it?" Why go to all the effort of building--or paying someone else to build--a website when business is going well already?

For many businesses, what "ain't" broke today is going to be on the trash heap tomorrow.

Here are a few reasons why it's time to fix it by getting a website, even if it "ain't" broke yet:

1. The Live Brochure - most businesses have used the brochure as a marketing format at some point. In the old days, they provided a great deal of information in one handy booklet. But with a website, you get a live brochure that is available for anyone to see anywhere in the world. And there is no limit to the amount of information you can include.

2. Expand Your Business - Maybe you don't have enough money to set up a new shop in another town, but you can do better than that for a tiny fraction of the cost. Set up shop online with an e-commerce site and you have a business presence anyone in the world can take advantage of.

3. It's Expected - These days, for a business not to have a website is akin to using a typewriter to create your business documents. Your customers and clients expect you to progress with the times, and if you don't keep up, they'll leave you behind.
