Whole Wheat - Straight Talk To You
About the Internet and Web Sites
.

 

   The Internet won't make you a millionaire.

    The Gatlin Brothers had some great song lyrics years ago:  "All the gold in California is sittin' in a bank in Beverly Hills in somebody else's name." And that's true with the Internet.  There may be a few millionaires yet to be made out there, but if you're selling siding in Seattle, then "It ain't you babe."

    And we're not going to try to sell you on the fantasy that you will get filthy rich with your own Web Site.  But a good Web Site can help a good businessman make a good business even better.

   Thousands of new customers will not swarm to your Web Site.

    The Internet offers small businesses the opportunity to reach new customers, but these new customers have to have a reason to find you. And if they're looking for siding companies in Seattle, they're not going to go to the Internet to find them. They'll go to the Yellow Pages.  Or the local "Bargain Hunter" type publication.

    But customers and potential customers will come to your site. And, if you design it correctly, they will do business with you.

    If they are looking for something, say - Home Improvement items, they will visit a Web Site specializing in home improvement information.  And if you can advertise on that site, you can get some new customers.

    (Now, don't get us wrong here. If you are selling a product that people are buying, or will buy, over the Internet, keep reading. There are ways to get thousands of new customers.)

Additional Kernals....

  Geeks don't always make good businessmen and women.

    And if you want the Whole Trut...er...Wheat, the real problem is that most ISP's and Web Site hosting companies are operated by computer people, not businessmen. Computer geeks are handy when your modems needs to be reconfigured. But they're rarely handy at selling siding.

    (OK, Bill Gates is an exception. But he's in a category all by himself.)

   Wheat Communications knows what you need.

    "Yeah, right...", you're saying. What makes Wheat so special? Well....a long, long time ago....in a galaxy far, far away.....we were advising small businesses before there even was an Internet.  We knew business first, then we learned the Internet.

    And if you don't think that makes a difference, try explaining to that 22 year old web host/salesman/geek about Workman's Comp and credit lines and bids and estimates.  Sure, ask him about CGI and Perl and he'll preach to you in never-ending Geek-Greek.  But that won't get you customers.So let us come by and help you with YOUR business site...or come on by...we are ready to listen to what YOUR business web site needs.

   Wheat Communications gives you what you need.
