Dr. Kevin Nunley's Biz Tip:
Should Your Biz Be Online?
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal said that businesses are in a panic to get on the Internet. Owners feel that unless they get an e-commerce site they will miss out on sales.
Many believe they won't be in business a few years from now if they don't get on-line now. There is probably some truth to this.
Even if your product or service is only sold to folks in your town, quite a few will be looking for you on the Internet. I often search the Internet for local stores before I'll open the Yellow Pages.
At the very least, list your contact information on a local Internet mall. Also consider designing your own simple site on a free space like Tripod.com or Xoom.com.
If you do any kind of mail order or catalog sales, you simply must be on the Internet. The cost of catalog e-commerce sites is really coming down.
You can easily build your own web catalog with the free and low-cost programs at IOManager.com.
