<p>I did, and I realized that <strong>effective websites</strong> are much like <strong>effective TV commercials</strong>. The problem is that most websites are not designed like good TV commercials.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many companies have not considered selling on the internet. For others, it is an unfulfilled dream. They hear about companies increasing their sales through the internet, and wish that they could achieve the same. For various reasons, they never take the steps to using the internet for their advantage.</p>
<p>What about you? Have you wanted to use the internet to boost your sales, and yet not taken the necessary steps to achieve it?</p>
<p>Over the next few articles, we are going to go through the steps needed to get an internet presence that generates more profits for your company. I will cover how to get your website, what to put on the website, how to get people to visit the site, and how to get people to buy from you.</p>
<p>In this article, I am going to start by addressing the most common reasons that cause people to not get a website.</p>
<p>The first reason is that many people do not realize what a website can really achieve for their company or even what can be sold using the internet. A website can be used to provide information about your company, products and services. It can also allow people to buy from your company 24 hours a day, 7 days a week &#8211; regardless of whether they live locally or across the other side of the USA. There are countless other opportunities made available with a website.</p>
<p>Many people also think that they cannot get a website because they are not very computer literate and don&#8217;t know much about websites. Yet, this need not be a hindrance. We recently developed a website for someone that knew very little about computers and hardly knew how to send an email.  Within 2 months, his website was generating a constant stream of new sales.</p>
<p>Some people are intimidated by technology and its terminology.  They are afraid that the person that designs websites is going to talk about things that they have no idea about &#8211; and make them look silly. However, you really do not need to discuss the technical aspects of the website with your website designer just like you don&#8217;t discuss how to print a newspaper if you want to place an advertisement in the newspaper.  You need to only discuss what you really want to achieve with the website.</p>
<p>Lastly, many people don&#8217;t realize that the increase in sales can well exceed the cost of the website. An internet marketing consultant will be able to discuss the sales potential for your particular company.</p>
<p>In the next article, I will tell you how to get a website for your company.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Don&#8217;t let the bad economy keep you awake at night&#8230;</strong></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Use the internet to INCREASE your business sales</h2>
<p>Dear Business Owner,</p>
<p>If you are like most business owners that I know, the bad economy is rather unsettling. In fact, it is enough to keep you awake at night &#8211; and for good reason. However, I won&#8217;t go into boring statistics about how many businesses are going &#8220;under&#8221;.</p>
<p>Instead, I want to show you how you can &#8220;recession-proof&#8221; your business by opening it up to new markets that you may not have even dreamed of. Yes, new markets mean <strong>more sales for your business!</strong></p>
<p>How? By using the internet.</p>
<p>Now wait. Before you start thinking that this is not for you, let me tell you that virtually ANY business can use the internet to get more sales. Even if your company already has a website, you need to read on.</p>
<p><strong>In these bad economic times, it is absolutely critical that your company harnesses the power of the internet.</strong></p>
<p>It is a matter of survival.</p>
<p>Let me tell you why&#8230;</p>
<p>As you know, you can only increase profits by increasing sales and / or reducing costs.</p>
<p><strong>When times get bad, companies start searching for ways to reduce their costs because sales are falling.</strong></p>
<p>In the past, if a company needed a supplier, they would reach for the yellow pages or try calling companies advertising in local newspapers.</p>
<p>Not any more! Now, people just search on the internet using Google, Yahoo or other search engines.</p>
<p>So, instead of companies choosing suppliers that are in the same town or region, they choose based on what they find on the internet &#8211; and their choice could be across the country&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;<strong>and that company can be yours</strong> &#8211; with a well-designed website.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Unfortunately, over 98% of websites generate almost ZERO sales.</strong></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let this happen to you.</p>
<p>In order for your website to make sales from the internet, your website needs to:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Be on the first pages of Google, Yahoo, etc so that it attracts a lot of visitors</li>
<li>&#8220;Connect&#8221; with your visitors so they feel that you understand their needs</li>
<li>Make your website visitors WANT to contact you in some way (whether it is to buy from you online, or to contact you now because they may want to buy later)</li>
<li>Continually reinforce the fact that your company is trustworthy and able to provide what your website visitors need</li>
<li>Make people view your company as <strong>the first choice</strong> for the product / service they need</li>
</ul>
<p>Would you like to harness the power of the internet to increase your sales?</p>
<p>Wise Internet Solutions can create a website (or modify an existing one) for your company that will:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Quickly be listed on the first few pages of Google and / or Yahoo (usually on page 1)</li>
<li>Earn your company the respect of your web visitors</li>
<li>Get a very high rate of visitor contact (FAR higher than most websites)</li>
<li>Get people to buy from you</li>
</ul>
<p>In case you are thinking that you don&#8217;t know where to start, Wise Internet Solutions can do everything for you. We can register your domain name, host your website and set up your email accounts for your employees.</p>
<p>Over the last 4 years, Wise Internet Solutions has been perfecting techniques that allow us to develop successful websites.</p>
<p>We have designed websites for both local companies and companies as far away as Australia and Singapore.</p>
<p>Contact us now, and let&#8217;s arrange a time where I can personally explain this more fully. There&#8217;s no obligation, of course, and certainly no pressure, but, together we just may figure out the best way for your business to use the internet to grow your sales.</p>
