4Did you know
- By 2002 the Internet will reach approximately 70
of all businesses in this country - The Internet is growing 3 times faster than
television and 10 times faster than radio - A small business with an Internet presence grows
46 faster than one without an Internet presence
You dont need Internet access, computer
knowledge, or even a computer to have a web page
5Why do you need the Internet?
- Being on the Internet is like having an
electronic billboard, available to your customers
24 hours a day, 7days a week, 365 days a year - The Internet provides a professional appearance
and presentation of your company - Allows you to effectively reach new customers
that are in need of your products or services
There are many more reasons, but the most
important one is.
- YOUR COMPETITION MAY ALREADY HAVE A WEB PAGE
6Internet Advantages
- Leverage your existing advertising dollars
- You probably already do some form of advertising.
And if you dont well everyone has company
letterhead, business cards etc.. Even restaurants
pass out flyers and give menus to their guests.
When you're on the Internet you can print your
web address on of your materials or advertising,
allowing those who otherwise wouldnt contact you
to do so in the privacy of their own home or
office. Internet businesses boast a whopping 40
increase in business on the average. You must use
the Internet as a tool to grow your business, not
just as a place to advertise. - A web page is a salesperson for your business
- The Internet represents you perfectly on every
sales call and never misses work because it is
sick. A web page is a storefront that that is
open to your customers 24 hours a day, everyday.
Your customers will appreciate the fact that you
have made it easier for them to do business with
you. - Reach new customers
- If you are not on the Internet then think about
the business or industry you are in. Ask yourself
this. When one of the thousands of potential
online customers is looking for the type of
service or product you offer, what are the
chances that they will find you?
If you are not on the Internet then the chances
are 0
7Internet AdvantagesContinued
- Increase profits
- With a web page you will increase your profits.
Even if you do not actually sell anything from
your web page, you will still increase your
profits as a result of the new customers that
will see your business, not to mention the new
traffic you will generate by using your Internet
address on your existing marketing materials. - Open longer hours
- What would it mean to your business if you could
keep your doors open 66 longer? Of course you
would conclude that your business would increase.
The only problem is that so would the overhead
like electricity, employees etc.. With a web page
you can stay open longer without the extra costs.
You can service thousands of potential customers
at the same time without any need for extra
employees. - Expand and penetrate your markets locally
- You will reach the thousands of potential
customers in your local area that might not of
ever seen your business before. Your business
will be exposed to every single business person
in your area that has a computer and is using it
to find local products and services like yours.
If you are a small company you can compete
against larger companies on a level playing
field. This is why the Internet is called The
great equalizer. - Service existing customers
- With a web page you can increase the efficiency
of everyday operations as well as customer
service. Your web page can answer many of the
questions customers commonly either call or come
in to ask. This can free you to do more important
things like run your business.

9Internet Myths
If my business is only targeted at local
customers the Internet would be a waste of time
and money.
Hundreds of thousands of companies and millions
of people all around the world have connected to
the Internet over the last five years, proving
that this medium is not only effective but that
it is here to stay. Unfortunately as with all
great successes there are also sad tales of
intense failure.
One mans misfortune often leads to another mans
fortune
As with most great failures there are often
equally great lessons to be learned. The
companies and individuals who have discovered and
applied those lessons are achieving great
results. Today we have learned lessons about this
phenomenal medium (the Internet) that could only
have been gained through trail and error. We have
the multimillion dollar investments of big
business to thank for these lessons.
The truth is that you don't have to invest
heavily to profit heavily THINK LOCALIZATION -
NOT GLOBALIZATION
The e-commerce business students of today are,
for the first time since the inception of the
Internet, being taught that LOCALIZATION, not
globalization is the key to success on the world
wide web. The power of the Internet is not only
its global reach but also, its ability to
effectively target customer bases on a local
level.
10Internet MythsContinued

commitment of time to build a web page

11Internet Mistakes
The Internet is most effective as a global market?
A critical mistake that many Internet ventures
made was to try and expand their business into
vast geographic regions or even globally, without
having first prepared for the logistical
challenges or the enormous marketing costs
involved.
Eventually people will use the Internet to
purchase everything.
Believing this was probably the biggest mistake
made by both big and small businesses alike.
The truth is that 95 of people who use the
Internet do so primarily to find information.
Those who did realize this, made an entirely
different mistake. They offered too much
information. Often most of the information these
enterprises offered was irrelevant and of no
relation to the reason which originally attracted
visitors to their web sites. The result was that
people came, looked once and, not wishing for
another information overload, never came again.
12Internet Mistakescontinued
The more you invest, the more you will profit.
The same people who made the first two mistakes
that we discussed most likely made this mistake
as well. As with every form of marketing, it is
always wise to test a new idea before you invest
heavily in promotion. Why so many businesses
ignored this obvious fact, with regards to their
Internet investments, is a mystery to us. It is
true that the Internet has enormous potential to
increase profits in almost every business venture
imaginable, but, it is also true that the amount
of money needed to realize this potential does
not have to be equal to the potential. The
Internet is, by its very nature, a perfect
medium for placing information about your
businesses product or service in clear view of
your prospective buyers. This does not require
big financial investment , but...
it does require an effective Internet strategy
13Click Menu Strategy
At click menu we have spent considerable time and
resources studying Internet commerce trends both
in Brasil and abroad. We have identified what
separated the successes from the failures. As
well, we studied software, hardware, systems,
hosts and everything else imaginable with regards
to operating not only an efficient and web site
but an effective enterprise. All of our various
research efforts come to the same conclusions.
Most Internet ventures that have failed, did so
because they failed to realize the true power of
the Internet.
Click Menu allows its partners to target their
specific customers with the information that they
need to make a purchasing decision.
The most successful Internet businesses today are
Search Engines. They connect people with
information. Next are Auction Sites. They connect
buyers with sellers. The third most successful
Internet ventures are Business to Business Web
Sites, or B2B Sites. They focus on providing
products and services exclusively to commercial
customers. Experts say that B2B is the future of
the Internet.
Click Menu effectively combines the three most
successful Internet strategies
14Click Menu Strategycontinued

specifically at commercial Internet users.
Commercial Internet use accounts for more than

their local areas. - Click Menu provides commercial Internet users the
