2. What is your first answer? If you get your business known through social media, then profits will increase due to popularity.
3. What is your second answer?If you create and maintain a visually striking, yet organized website, then more customers will be drawn to your business, thus increasing profit.
4. List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.
- Draws attention- It only takes a couple seconds for a first impression. A website that is appealing, yet well established speaks loads about what your business is like.
- Makes you stand out- Plenty small businesses such as boutiques don't have websites; offering an online business makes you different then the rest.
- Offers your merchandise online- Selling both in-store and online gives the opportunity to expand your customers, and more customers means more profit.

7. Tie this together with a concluding thought.
Websites not only get your business known through customers that haven't visited your store, but those who HAVE visited your store can get more out of an online business that may provide more than that of in-store.
