Here’s a customer’s story, from Ian McConnell, which should show why you need your own site in Canberra:

“Before internet marketing I was an electrical contractor who did not believe a website would help my business. I also thought that unless I spent more than $5,000 I was getting a sub-standard website which would end up being a waste of money. Also, every day it was about getting through the jobs as quickly as possible. I had no interest in marketing, I was an electrician!

Every week I would spend 10 minutes on the phone to place a newspaper ad (for a week) which cost less than a hundred dollars. I never knew if it was converting and I didn’t have time (or care) to check. As long as I had the Yellow Pages ad, the sign on the van, the business cards, the referrals and newspaper ad, it brought in enough work to keep me busy and that’s all I wanted.

The other electricians charged $75/hr, so I did the same. But, one day I was so busy that a client offered to pay 25% more to get priority on a large job… I realized then that I should probably pay more attention to attracting more of those clients. I asked him how he heard about us and he said “I searched online, found someone who then referred me to you”. I was convinced!

In the next few weeks I learned about WordPress blogs and set mine up, which eventually became my only means of advertising. It took a long time, and I was only convinced because it brought in thousands of dollars of profit, with much less effort than normal. Without having seen the result for myself, I probably would have never created a website for my business, which eventually became a valuable asset when I sold the business.”

Here’s another story:

I hear you loud and clear! I’m a wood floor contractor from the UK. It only took me 14 years to get a website up. Luckily, I’ve been attached to a large retailer that gave me a lot of bread and butter work. However, like the old saying goes ‘I wish I’d have done it sooner!’…I finally jumped in using a well known host. Apart from the experience of building a website, it also had the knock on effect of opening my eyes to how essential this internet thing is for spreading the business name/services, networking and generally seeing what’s going on in my profession. Anyone with a small business or thinking of starting one, GET A WEBSITE!!

Bottom line? Get a website, especially if you have a local business and want MORE business.
