Without a business presence online, missed opportunities can be enormous

Canadian Internet UsersYep, the internet has changed our way of doing business and it’s not going to change back anytime soon. The fact that nearly 90% of Canadians use the internet (CIRA Source: ITU 2016) to help them make their purchasing decisions should be reason enough to consider having a website presence for your small business.

While billions of people use social media these days, and it is important to have a presence on the pertinent platforms, it will still be important in 2019 to have a professional business website. With a website you can control the content and how and when you want to connect with customers as opposed to the fast-timed climate of social media where your content is forever changing. Not only that, a website will help to legitimize your business and credibility – an excellent low-cost marketing tool 24/7.

All of these platforms offer many ways to interact on a personal basis with past, present and potential clients and customers. Whether you’re interested in getting your business online and need a brand new site, or if you already have one but are curious about the advantages of converting to a WordPress powered platform, we can help. Give us a shout at 403-257-7047 and we’ll be happy to answer all your questions.
