The store keeps Internet services at fixed prices offering startups a more predictable cost model. The owners provide free consultation and even basic business consulting services, such as how to establish a merchant account, register a business with the County, and the most efficient shipping solutions.
New York, NY, July 21, 2008 — At its retail store in Forest Hills, Queens, www.its-your-internet.com reports a robust demand for services for Internet startups in what the owner says may be a reaction to the slowdown in the economy.
“A substantial portion of our customers are first time business owners, or are now trying to make former side businesses their primary vocation,†says founding owner Jonathan Jaffe. “We are seeing a lot of recent graduates trying to start up Internet based businesses. Presumably this pattern is indicative of the resilience of the economy in which recent graduates have found it hard to find a job and the recently laid off are abandoning a search for work and looking for cost effective ways, e.g. through the Internet, in which to build their own businesses.â€
The Forest Hills store is a leading part of the emerging “dot brick†model in which traditional retail stores offer professional Internet based services, such as web site design, development, and marketing (press releases and search engine optimization), instead of carrying physical inventory.

“Startup businesses want and need the hand holding. They do not want to sign up at an online hosting service and try to construct a site themselves. Most of our clients tried to do that and realized that they need more than just web site. The site is only the beginning,†says Mr. Jaffe.
