Questions About the Internet: Q: Why should I advertise with a Web site when I already have a Yellow Pages® ad?
A: Customers now use the Internet 12:1 over the phone book, because they can use keywords to find exactly what they want.
Businesses that recognize this trend can use a Web site to attract more customers through multiple categories without the expense of paying for multiple phone book listings. Yellow Page ads are expensive, are updated only once per year, and are becoming increasingly less effective in the Information Age.
Q: Why should I own more than one domain name?
A: Multiple domain names are cheap insurance. Domain names are fairly inexpensive; because of this, it’s worthwhile to own the .com, .net, and other domains for your company (if available). You may even want to buy common misspellings of your company’s domain name. That way, your competition can’t buy a domain name that is confusingly similar to your business name, pointing it to their site, and end up taking your customers.
Q: I’m just starting my business. Do I need a Web site now, or should I wait until I open my doors?
A: Now! Here’s why: It can take up to six or eight weeks to begin getting results from submitting your Web site to search engines. You will also want to ensure your domain name is printed on your other marketing materials like pens, stationery, catalogs, brochures, etc. by the time your doors open. Spending a little bit on advertising for a Web site now, and properly marketing it, can result in much bigger profits when your doors open.
