Why an Internet presence anyway?

In increasing numbers, Australian consumers are getting online and using the internet.
That doesn't mean users are spending vast amounts of money with online purchases. Indeed online shopping has certainly not yet delivered the level of results many traders have hoped (and budgeted) for. However the net is used as a place to search.

And if your goods or services are found
and if they are what the searcher is looking for
and if you're just down the road or across town i.e. local
you will have more people coming through your doors
... or booking your services ... or joining your club .... or jumping out of your aeroplane (with a parachute!).

Our Recommendations

Start small, with say a single page template or a one-page original design. Your outlay will be minimal while you assess how effective it is. (You do customer surveys don't you - to know what forms of advertising are most effective for you?)
If you begin to get encouraging results and feel comfortable you can then consider a more elaborate arrangement. Perhaps your own domain name, on a server of your choice with a POS (point of sale) presence. Naturally the expenses increase. However it should compare very favourably to other forms of promotion if you've gone about it astutely.
