The benefits of a having a web site are not as well known as you might think. These days people take it for granted that businesses of many types have a web site. But, do they know why? Here are some reasons to get a site: - Tell people around the world that you are here. The internet has no boundaries and for the most part it stays open 24 hours a day 365 days a year. This is your oppurtunity to tell the world who you are and what you do. You can't do it on a business card anymore. People want more than a name and number. They have the oppurtunity to peep you out as a legimate business the second they land on your site.
- A site can promote a sense of community. Your web site, like your store can become a focal point in your community. You can promote local artist, give the community news the way you want too, let the community share it's ideas or just discuss regional music. The site becomes what you and the community want. And when I say community, I mean like minded people not just your surrounding area.
- Open up a customer base you never knew you had. With the internet being global, you have access to billions of people around the world. You can sell music in China instead of just your block.
- Open up other revenue streams. A music store, along with an oline store is a record labels dream. With a web site, you can get a second sound scan ID which gives you more clout in the industry. Plus, record labels understand the power of the web. You can do in-store promotions and charge additionally for online promotions. The possiblities are numerous.
- Sell other items. Maybe you don't have room to stock other items like T-shirts or hats. With an online store your warehouse is virtual. So, you can sell anything you like in it.
There are many benefits to having a site. Our sites are tailored specifically for record stores. Our modules are installed specifically for "hits" (number of times a page or site is seen) and to keep the user coming back for more. All of our sites are designed for ease of maintainence and use because, what good is a fancy, flashy site if you can't even update the new release list every week.
