SyleTrain Media - Why Be Online

Why does your business need a website?

  • Google is the “No.1 destination for Australian internet users”† – be as visible as you can and make sure customers can ‘google’ you

  • More Australian searches are done on Google than on Yellow Pages on-line1 – more potential customers not market researchers

  • Increases the effectiveness of your on-line advertising e.g. Yellow Pages or other directory websites – customers want more than just an address and phone number

  • When searching directory websites, customers tend to select a business with a website rather than one without

  • Allows customers to gain extra information about your business – they want to see who you are, what you do and how you might meet their needs

  • Allows customers to get a feel for your business – with your own website you can portray your own image

  • A growing number of Australian consumers have smart phones or iPhones which are internet enabled – allows customers to find you on the go

  • With the coming of the national broadband network, every home will be on-line – print advertising will soon become less relevant

  • Satisfies the needs of information-hungry consumers
