Everything about our lives has been changed by the internet. From work to entertainment, nothing remains the same.
The pandemic has also helped in speeding up digital adoption by leading more and more businesses to get online to create value, gain a competitive advantage, beat customer expectations, and boost revenue.
Boost 360 is playing a crucial role by making it easier for small businesses to go online.
What is online business?
An online business is a business that has a website, appears on Google Search, is active on social media channels like Facebook and Instagram, accepts online orders and appointments from customers, and receives digital payments.
These days, customers are increasingly relying on Google Search to locate retail shops, offices, hospitals, restaurants etc.
This means, businesses that are not online, or those that do not work hard to maintain a positive online image, are at risk of losing new customers and witnessing declining sales.
What is the role of website in online business?
A business website is a basis or the starting point of going online. Think of your company’s website as your face on the internet.
It introduces your business to your customers. If your customers like what they see, they will go ahead and buy your services.
Here are some of the key functions that a business website performs.
- It acts as the ‘face’ of your business on the internet.
- It helps your customers find you online.
- It offers your customers round-the-clock information, seven days a week.
- It increases your business credibility.
- It helps build a stronger brand.
- It provides cost-effective options for marketing.
- It helps you reach more customers.
- It helps you interact with your customers.
Problems of going online
Although there are many advantages of having a business website, going online is not easy. It requires time, money and infrastructure.
Here are some of the key challenges of creating a business website.
- Finding a developer – hiring an expert who can build your website from scratch.
- Getting hosting– renting space on a server to store website files and data.
- Setting up website security – to ensure that any information that is sent from the browser to the server, or the other way around, is totally safe and secure.
- Updating and maintaining the website – to ensure that it functions properly.
- Setting up campaigns for traffic – to attract online visitors and inform them about your services.
- Collecting payments – enabling customers to pay for their services directly using an online payment gateway.
- Communicating with customers – responding to customer enquiries and keeping them informed about new developments regarding your business.
