Does Your Gift Basket Business Include a Web Site?

So why does your business need a web site? According to an article I recently read, we all need web sites because “websites work”. No matter what your business or profession, a website can generate business, promote goodwill among customers and prospects, and deliver strong marketing messages.”
Even if you’re not ready to sell your gift baskets on a web site, you can still set up a web site that will describe the products and services that you offer and methods that customers can use to get in touch with you. “The vast majority of business websites are still information and communication rather than purchase-oriented”. If you want to set up this type of site, read about 4 simple steps to take to set up your site.
If you’re ready to set up an e-commerce sight so that you can sell your gift baskets on-line, be sure to check out Web Sites: How to Create, Promote, and Profit On-Line” by Shirley George Frazier.

Lorie,
You’re so right about the need to establish an online presence.
Even if a gift basket business owner is not prepared to build a site, it’s important at a minimum to register the business’s domain name so that when it’s time to move forward, the foundation is set.
I appreciate you mentioning my book and know that this post will encourage designers to think about establishing a site if they’ve not created one yet.
