A business struggling without an online presence is like a Handicapped Warrior who has broken arrows in his quiver. In the meanwhile, a business with an online presence is like a Warrior who always taste success irrespective of the size and capabilities of his opponents.

Being online is advantageous in many ways. An online business can post an advertisement of any size on its website so that millions of interested customers can view the same at any time of their convenience. Even when a business is closed for non-working hours or holidays, it can still connect and respond to queries of its customers. In addition to all these benefits, a business also gains advantages in the form of enhanced product/service awareness, direct selling, improved customer services, collection of feedback besides improving communication with its customers, vendors, press and society.

An online business also has a better and extended local and global customer reach at all times and this reach can be further extended by using web-based services such as Web advertising, publicity, newsgroups, and e-mail newsletters. A business can easily save lots of money on marketing by reducing printing, postage and administrative costs for offering discount coupons, flyers, newsletters, other mailings and even comprehensive brochures etc.
