Why it is important for businesses to have an online presence?

How often do you go online and do a quick search online for a particular business only to find that they do not have a website? How often is it that you get handed a business card with an email address ending with @hotmail.com? In today's ever changing climate of technology it is surprising to see how many businesses still do not have an online presence considering just how very little it costs to get started.  
The added benefits of having a website to your customers is in today's world where people lead hectic lives with very little or no time to themselves they will have the added convenience of looking at your products and services at a time that suits them, rather than your standard opening hours. You will significantly expand your market overnight, you will reach a more specific audience that you never thought of reaching before who are visiting your website because they chose to and are genuinely interested about your products and services. In today's environment where more and more people are turning to the internet to source vital information, if you do not have an online presence then you are making it extremely difficult for people to find you.
So if you are a small business with something to shout about then you need a website.
