“Advertising is Expensive”

I often hear “My advertising budget is already maxed out… I don’t think I can afford a website.” Well it’s no secret that without advertising no business would survive but successful businesses reach their customers by the most effective means.  The key is that you must be visible where your customers / clients are looking and today that they are looking on the internet! The Internet is a fast and convenient way for people to look for and find local businesses and services. Roalex Web Design makes it fast and convenient for YOU to have a presence where your customers will find you with an affordable web design and service program.

Let’s compare your website vs. Newspaper Advertising vs. Yellow Page advertising.  Your website provides you with endless space to talk about your products, services, promotions, coupons, sales, etc. All of this information can be presented with  colorfull graphics /images.  Compare this to a black and white small quarter page, half page or expensive full page Newspaper or Yellow Page Ad with limited space.

Newspaper ads are printed, delivered or purchased, and might be looked at once, if at all…most likley your ad won’t be available when someone is looking for your products or services and will wind up in the recycle bin. The Yellow Pages are delivered to homes.  Many are thrown away because the internet has taken their place…but for those that are in homes, the ads are printed and they cannot be changed for a full year. That business model eliminates the ability to feature products or services, offer promotions or monthly coupons, or change your mind about what you’d like to say in your ad. With a website changes can be made whenever you want, and potential customers can add the site to their favorites for future reference.

Your website is always available to everyone in the world. Newspaper Ads and the Yellow Pages are localized, restricted by their circulation, and not always available.

All forms of advertising play their part in the success of your business, and no avenue should be overlooked. To be successful in today’s changing world you must be willing to move adapt to change . . . or risk getting lost and forgotten.

Can you afford NOT to have a business website?
