The people over there are very poor as there is little work or government assistance. From time we run out of wool and are very grateful to receive left over wool in small or large amounts that anyone may have that they are willing to give us. We are very creative and use small amounts for stripes or edges etc so any amount is welcome. I can assure you it is put to very good use and the people over there overflow with gratitude that we, at the "other end of the world"' care enough to help them. We are very grateful too to the people who have given us wool in the past but we are always running out and needing more so if you have any wool that you are willing to donate, I will arrange to pick it up. My landline number is (07)843-7755 or cellphone 021-057-0371. Thank you once again to those who have given to us in the past. Pat Gregory

Do I Need a Website for My Business? 10 Reasons Why the Answer is Yes

Naimish from iFixComputer ifixcomputer.co.nz

Hi Neighbours,

Hi Neighbours,

If your business has gotten this far without a website, you might be wondering: do I need a website for my business? What’s the point if my business is already successful without one?
The short answer is that there has never been a better or more important time to invest in a website for your business. A website offers a wide variety of benefits for small businesses, and most of these benefits increase in value exponentially year over year, just like the Internet itself.

Not convinced? We’ve collected ten of the biggest benefits your small business can receive from even a simple website.

Ten reasons why you need a website for your small business.
1. A website makes you look professional
2. Your website can attract new customers through Google
3. You can clearly showcase your products and services
4. You can display your best reviews and testimonials prominently on your website
5. A website can encourage customers to contact you
6. You can integrate your website with Google Maps so people can find you more easily
7. Your website establishes your place in the industry
8. A website is no longer intimidating to create and manage
9. A website ensures your success over the long term
10. You can get all of these benefits without spending a fortune

Hopefully, by now you’ve realized that the question isn’t “do I need a website for my business”, but “can I afford to not have a website in the digital era”. And the answer, if you want to continue thriving in the long term, is no. A website is one of the best investments any business can make in its future.

Finally, if you have any questions about launching a website for your small business, ask away in the comments section below!

Cheers,
