HOW IMPORTANT IS AN INTERNET WEBSITE TO YOU?

If you have not followed the Internet news recently, there are lots of important issues and changes happening. Here why it is important for you to have your products and business listed on the worldwide communications network commonly called the: Internet.

Of the 328 million people in North America, 68% (223 million) of them are using the Internet. This figure has doubled over the last five years.

More people are going online for information than ever before. If you are like me and you have a question about a product or service, where do you go to check? Answer: the Internet.

The Internet is rapidly becoming the most important place for consumers and businesses to get information about purchasing anything. In the future, if you have a business without a website, you will soon be left behind.

Some recent government information:

1. US Department of Commerce reported e-commerce retail sales (sales made over the Internet) for the 2nd quarter of 2005 at $21.1 billion. That is a 7.2% increase over the previous quarter.

2. The Internet Retailer reported: the total volume of online searches conducted in the US in 2005 reached more than 4.8

3. The people and businesses of our nation are becoming more and more dependent on Internet/online resources. It will not be long until just about anything you want to buy, or need more information about will be available to you online via the Internet.

In short, don’t let this tidal wave of opportunity pass you by. A website on the worldwide communications called the Internet can let people everywhere know who you are, what you have to meet their needs as well as how they can contact you for immediate answers to their questions.
