As gas prices continue to rise, one thing is becoming clear: consumers are choosing to stay home rather than drive even short distances.
Fort Wayne, IN – July 13, 2011 — However, rather than curb spending, the opposite is true. Consumers are shopping online, and Internet sales are up for many small businesses that have made the transition online.
“People love to shop, and if they can’t drive to the local mall they’ll shop online instead”, says marketing consultant Dana Haenner from http://www.makemymarketingpay.com . “Even service businesses such as mortgage brokers are seeing record months due to the amount of business that is flowing online.”
According to Haenner, many small businesses could add 10-20% to their bottom line, just by establishing an online presence. A website can enable a business to take orders and schedule appointments online, automate much of the marketing process, and act as a 24/7 sales rep.
Although the price of a business website might reach into the thousands of dollars, the return on investment can be astronomical and bring in tens of thousands of dollars every year for the average business owner.
“There is a lot of money being spent online right now, and businesses that have made the effort to setup a website are reaping the rewards,” said Haenner, “but it’s important to remember that there is no easy money online and you still need a solid online marketing plan in place before you make the leap.”
