I asked my subscribers if they had a website. Some of those who did gave me these sites:

If you have a business and still don’t have a website. I sincerely urge you to get one. It is so easy to start a website. Just go to any free hosting or free blogging services (like blogleverage.com), open up an account and boom - you have a website. With it you can potentially open up a new marketing channel that’s open 24/7. That kind of leverage is awesome.

You should put your website address in your business card (even if it’s just a free site). On your website make sure to have a CALL TO ACTION. When they get to your website, what do you want your visitors to do? Call you? Is it visible? Can it be seen above the fold? Does it grab your viewer’s attention?

Give them a reason to regularly return to your website. Chances are, they will only visit your website once - so give a compelling reason so that they would give you their email or contact number. In that way, you build a relationship with serious potential clients. Check out my SEO Webmarketing website, you can see a clear example there.

You build a relationship with your target market by providing them real value. Don’t send them SPAM. Send them real promos or deals. There is a stronger possibility of making a sale that way, don’t you think?

So, why do you need a website? Used correctly, it can be a simple yet powerful marketing tool. Think about it.
