Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Cut your advertising cost

If you have doubts whether you should be on the Internet, consider this:
  • The estimated number of Americans with Internet access is over 68%
  • The average household income is over $50,000.
  • 50% of all Americans access the Internet on a daily basis.
How do you tap into this market?
Customers must find your Web site. Some will "discover" your site using a search engine. Some will come from NCcoupons.net. If you rely exclusively on these, it's the same as hoping people see your store sign and come in. Some do, but most just drive by. Advertising attracts customers to your Web site. The good news is, advertising for the Web costs less with better results.

Consider your current advertising objective. Usually, you want to move a person from his/her easy chair to your business using the advertising space you can afford. Your objective changes with a Web site. All you need to do is move the person to another chair - one with a computer. On the Internet you have infinite space to create interest in what you sell, build trust in your company and most of all, peak their desire to drive over and buy.

Visibility, Attention, Interest, and Call to action. Which of these change? Lets say you own Joe's Furniture Store. If your ad states "We have everything you want" will a customer drive across town to see? But what if all you're asking is to just switch chairs for a moment? Now your ad can concentrate more on visibility and attention. Lets suppose you are selling low to moderately priced furniture. Then your target customer is probably a bargain hunter. Compare the visibility, attention and cost of the example below compared to a conventional furniture store ad.
You must admit, even at this size it's visible. Does "Bargain Hunters" get attention? It has the same effect as someone calling your name in a crowd; don't you turn to see who it is? It's obvious what Joe sells and where they go to find out more. Or they can call if they want. Joe may have the smallest show room in town. But on the Web, he's as big as FurnitureLand. "Look... Joe does have everything we want"
Q.
Why do I need a Web site? Wouldn't a coupon on NCcoupons.net work as well?
A.
You need a full website because:
  • A full website provides the space to properly showcase your products and services. A brief ad or coupon on someone else's site is not nearly as effective.
  • Only when you have your own website will your customers find your business using search engines like Google, Yahoo and AOL.
  • Having your own web address (www.yourCompany.com) will save you money on advertising.

Q.
Don't websites usually cost several thousand dollars? How can NCcoupons.net afford to offer one for only $199.

We have streamlined our site design techniques to bring you the absolute highest quality Web site at the most affordable price you'll find anywhere. You choose one of the site packages and we customize it to your business using your logo, your pictures and your description of your business.

Q.
I'm not a computer geek. Can a person like me use the Web Page Designer?
A.
If you can use a word processor, you can use this web page design tool. You can add or change pictures, modify the text or even create a whole new site from scratch using the same point and click techniques found in most word processors. You can preview your work to make sure it's exactly as you want it before you publish it to the Web.
Q.
How soon after I sign up will my new website be ready?
A.
Much of it depends on you. You have 30 days to provide our designers with the wording and pictures to use on your site. It usually takes about 2 weeks after that. So realistically, between 15 and 45 days.

Q.
If you have such great Web sites, why is this one so plain?
A.
That's actually a great question. Every Web site has a different purpose. Some sell, some teach, others build image and so on. This one's similar to a business plan. Have you ever seen a room full of people with a business plan? Lawyers are flipping through legal pages, accountants are disecting the balance sheet and investors are hot on the trail of the cash flow. Different parts are important to different people. This site's objective is to clearly state the facts of this plan and lead you to the ones important to you.
