Like a printed brochure, a Brochure Website will use graphics and photos, color and logos to convey the unique identity of your business. As an online brochure, the website will answer more than just basic questions that a prospective customer may have: details that would not fit in a reasonably sized print ad.
Unlike a printed brochure, however, a Brochure Website costs nothing to print. Updates don't require printing a whole new "batch." A Brochure Website doesn't require distribution so it is available 24/7. Plus, you can include vastly more information than either a print ad or a printed brochure.
A Brochure Website is a cost-effective way to provide the extensive information people need to move forward in the sales process. Brochure Websites come in all sizes, from a single Home Page to thousands of pages. It depends on how much information you want to provide about your business. It is a good idea to create the site in stages. Complete two or three foundational pages and expand from there.
Your website's target audience will be prospective customers who are researching resources for products or services. Often they are seeking a local resource that they can call and visit. The goal of the website is to convince the site visitor to directly contact you. It provides a great opportunity for you to highlight what makes
your company the one to whom they will take their business. In addition, these prospective customers will have been educated and screened for geniune interest. Even if the site visitor hasn't actually read all the information, it is still there to lend credibility to your company and for reference when they want to have more "written" details and assurances.
