3. Positive ROI 

Assuming you make an initial investment $1500, how many new sales do you need to make to cover the cost? If you consider the profit from the life of a customer, it is very few. Keep in mind that the reoccurring costs of hosting a website is very minimal. What other advertising methods have you only paid for once but it continues to work for your business? 

4. Data Center 

When you utilize your website as a data center, customers can easily find and order products as well as locate valuable information. It’s a great reference for staff as well when everything is current. It saves your business money by not having to print out paper catalogs, or reprinting them when pricing changes. It also improves customer service and saves you time when people can find answers to their questions. 

5. Ecommerce Opportunities 

If you have Route Manager and a website, then you can purchase a module called Mango Web that allows you sell products and have everything sync automatically. New customers can sign up for service and their information will imports right into Route Manager. Customers can also check account status/billing, view delivery calendars and even go paperless by viewing and paying invoices online.
