How important is the Internet to small business?
The short answer is: very.
The long answer is important.
Read on to see how MBPV can set you and your business up for the internet age.
Why is the internet so important?
With ever increasing numbers for people exposed to “new media”, combined with dwindling numbers and circulation for old media, such as newspapers, magazines and television, the benefit of an Internet presence can be measured in dollars, and is imperative for the changing marketplace.
In the last year, advertising spending has increased by ten percent. Sixty percent of that growth is being spent on internet advertising, with traditional media, such as newspapers, free-to-air television and radio making only a fifteen percent increase combined.
An internet presence will not only allow you to reach an audience greater than that of any newspaper or radio show circulation, it will serve as the perfect compliment to any existing advertising program, creating a mutual meeting ground for you and your customer right in the comfort of their own home.
