"A Small Business Research Board e-commerce study reports that in 2007, more than 40% of the U.S. small businesses surveyed still did not have a website…If you don't have a web presence, you are invisible to an electronic world of potential customers."

(Source: ProductionMachining.com, "Why A Web Site?")

In the past four years, the number of small businesses that rely on the web to drive new business has doubled – but the total number of small businesses with web sites is still quite low. What's holding them back? They don't have the knowledge or tools to create a site and a search marketing program – but they definitely have the desire to put their business online. Help show them how to:

  • Create and maintain a customized website for their business
  • Use their brand to make their company look larger
  • Launch a search marketing program to reach more customers
