<BR>Taking your business online for the first time? SiteSource has compiled a list of FAQs you will find useful.<BR><h1 align="center"><font face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Internet Business Services</font></h1>
<p align="left"><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><a href="http://www.sitesource.com.au/"><font face="Arial Narrow, Arial Black, Arial, serif"><strong>SiteSource</strong></font></a></font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Why do my customers want to use the Net?</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">They want <a href="http://results.sitesource.com.au/">information,
entertainment, education</a>, even conversation…more</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">The Internet is just another communication channel, but it is the only one
that has the power to emulate all the other others put together. It can be
a newspaper, a television station, a magazine, a game or even a telephone service.
So as we move into the future, more people will rely on the Internet as their
primary communication infrastructure.</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Today customers are using the Internet to make online purchases, book holidays,
check out product information before they buy. Often the Net is quicker, easier
or provides better information that your sales people or other promotions do.
The Net enables your customers to interface when and where they want to.</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><br>
Why do my suppliers prefer Internet transactions?</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Speed, efficiency and
cost are three key <a href="http://solutions.sitesource.com.au/">advantages
of business to business online</a> services…more</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Of course people will
also like to deal with people, but in the long terms automation of many systems
is inevitable for cost and efficiency reasons. You
might have a supplier that has a call centre for taking orders, often there
is a wait, someone on the other end who doesn’t know what they are doing
or you can only order at specific times. A website can more efficiently deal
with this type of interaction.</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Your suppliers can also
integrate any online ordering system into fulfilment, again generating a
cost saving by reducing human involvement as well as “just
in time” supply philosophies. If there is a problem, then with a few
mouse clicks, someone can look up all your details and help solve it.</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><br>
Why is the Internet a good promotion tool?</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">It’s interactive, uses multimedia and can be personalise to target your
customers…more</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">As a marketing channel, the Internet can be used in much the same way as many
different mediums. It can perform the functions of a brochure, with nice glossy
pictures and text. It is able to transmit video just like the latest TV adverts
do. It can even play your snazzy jingle to visitors of your website.</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">All this means much bigger
impact. Beyond this though it can also be updated almost instantaneously
and interact with your customer. Perhaps it can take
your customer’s name and details, ask them questions and then respond
to their answers uniquely. As more and more <a href="http://isp.sitesource.com.au/">Australians</a> get online the promotional
power of the Net is becoming truly unleashed.</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><br>
Why should the Internet be part of my distribution channel?</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">It adds another place
for you customers to purchase your goods/services…more</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">As a <a href="http://estore.sitesource.com.au/">distribution</a> device the Internet can be used to set up a cyber store,
where just like a real store customers can browse and make purchase decisions.
For some goods or services these can even be delivered online, consider purchasing
a computer program <a href="http://diy.sitesource.com.au/">online</a> where it can be downloaded directly to your computer,
or a help service that involves a direct interface from a website.</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Education and other instruction are services that can also be provided over
the Net direct to paying customers. Even for businesses that sell something
more concrete and physical, all aspects leading up to the final delivery can
be handled by the Internet or IT technologies, freeing you to concentrate on
other business building strategies.</font></p>
