The financial opportunity and profit potential of web-based business is clear and
undisputed. With a number of web-based companies with a market capitalization of
billions of dollars (e.g. Google, eBay, Yahoo, Amazon and others), the foundation
of online business is beyond solid, and it will remain as a permanent business environment.
The question that now remains for every single business owner across the globe is
simple: How can they benefit from the internet in a way that is both quick and easy-to-use,
designed for non-technical business people, and cost-effective? Most importantly,
this business presence in the online space has to make a profit and be financially
successful for them, on the web.
As a baseline for this financial success to occur on the web, a business owner needs
to have a website that instills a sense of trust and confidence in end-users so
that they feel comfortable interacting with the business that sits behind the website.
In order to create a sense of credibility with prospective and current customers,
it is critical that business owners have a high quality, professional website that
looks and works as required, and that powerfully reflects the company’s brand, products
and services.
Traditionally, it has been a difficult and expensive process for businesses to come
online and to sell their products. This route typically includes building a website
with a catalog and shopping cart, integrating payment gateways for commerce and
most importantly, interacting with other businesses and prospective customers to
generate sales.
The challenge that most business websites have had in the past, is that they are
effectively a tiny, isolated ‘island’ in the vast ocean of the internet. Being listed
on the current search engines is like having a listing in a Global Yellow Pages,
with a few million competitors in your space, along with a few more billion ‘junk
mail’ ads and various other documents and distractions, that your prospective customers
have to wade through (often way before they reach your company listing), in order
to find you.
After that, most companies simply end up relying on ‘passing internet trade’ or
on promotional initiatives for their own sites that they have had to plan, implement
and finance.
OnlyBusiness.com counteracts websites that few users and/or customers will see and
purchase from. Rather, they display and promote member companies and their products/services,
through a global business platform and community, where targeted traffic is directed
to their businesses, which dramatically increases sales and reduce costs.
In a matter of minutes, business owners are able to build their web presence and
be up-and-running, ready to accept online purchases if they wish. Using all of the
inbuilt system tools, they can then enhance and extend their website exactly as
they want, and they can use the full suite of marketing tools to promote their website
as well as their products/services.
As a collaborative, web-based business community and platform, it is the goal and
objective of OnlyBusiness.com to provide all of the products, services, features
and functions that a typical business would need in order to build a financially
successful and profitable online arm to their business.
The system features and functions operate in a single framework, which means that
a business owner has all of the power and flexibility of the tools offered by a
number of high-end providers (e.g. Auctions, Site Builders, Networking and Communities,
Shopping Outlets, Trade Leads, etc.) built into their system profile. With this
profile, members then also get a professional, fully functional and stand-alone
website, open to site visitors, users and customers from the internet.
This entire suite of web services is managed by each member, through a single ‘Control
panel’, removing the need to go to 10 different systems, paying each one and then
needing to build a profile and resubmitting the same data in each. Now, all of these
services use all of the common account, company and product information captured
in the member’s Only Business registration and setup, saving both time and money
for the business owner, and helping to promote their company, their products and
their services through the network.
With OnlyBusiness.com, business owners get a powerful, high-quality web presence
in a larger business-based community, and are thus able to establish professional
credibility with their prospective customers. For a business that is still considering
joining OnlyBusiness.com, the only question that remains is ‘why not’? |
