Do I Need a Website for My Business? 10 Reasons Why the Answer is Yes

Naimish from iFixComputer ifixcomputer.co.nz

Hi Neighbours,

If your business has gotten this far without a website, you might be wondering: do I need a website for my business? What’s the point if my business is already successful without one?
The short answer is that there has never been a better or more important time to invest in a website for your business. A website offers a wide variety of benefits for small businesses, and most of these benefits increase in value exponentially year over year, just like the Internet itself.

Not convinced? We’ve collected ten of the biggest benefits your small business can receive from even a simple website.

Ten reasons why you need a website for your small business.
1. A website makes you look professional
2. Your website can attract new customers through Google
3. You can clearly showcase your products and services
4. You can display your best reviews and testimonials prominently on your website
5. A website can encourage customers to contact you
6. You can integrate your website with Google Maps so people can find you more easily
7. Your website establishes your place in the industry
8. A website is no longer intimidating to create and manage
9. A website ensures your success over the long term
10. You can get all of these benefits without spending a fortune

Hopefully, by now you’ve realized that the question isn’t “do I need a website for my business”, but “can I afford to not have a website in the digital era”. And the answer, if you want to continue thriving in the long term, is no. A website is one of the best investments any business can make in its future.

Finally, if you have any questions about launching a website for your small business, ask away in the comments section below!

Cheers,

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️

And city hall has released its preference for where it would go.
