At one time, businesses debated the value of investing in an Internet presence and the effectiveness of marketing online. A website was a luxury, not a necessity. Advertising dollars were better spent in the traditional outlets of television, print media, and radio.

But the winds have changed direction. Today, people spend more time online and get more of their information from the World Wide Web than ever before. This shift has fundamentally changed how customers view a business’s online presence. They expect a functioning, informative website.

Not having a website means customers won’t find you when they do any online search related to your business or the products and services you offer. Having a poorly designed or outdated site means you run the risk of being unfavorably compared to your competition, all of whom are a simple click away from capturing your customers.

But having an effective Internet strategy is not just about having a website. The Internet offers an unprecedented opportunity for businesses to engage their customers in new and exciting ways. The latest social media tools allow a business to extend their personality and brand online, build customer loyalty, and find new customers, all at a minimal cost compared to traditional advertising.
