Online Sales: Is Your Business Missing Out?

With over 60% of registered businesses in the United States having some form of website, the pressure to get online can be immense


Posted by Chris McDowell - Dec. 12, 2007

It is estimated that by the time 2007 ends, over 150 billion dollars will have been spent directly online in the United States.

What stats do not tell us is how much more revenue was earned indirectly by websites, in being a point of contact between client and business. This could well over double or even triple that number. That's between $300 & 450 billion dollars in a year!

Now, ask yourself: is your business missing out?

The simple fact is that customers are out there online, looking for you and looking for your products and services. While there is certainly much to be said for more traditional marketing methods, as time goes on, you are going to be finding that without an online presence, your message will not be getting as far as it should.

If you have a product to sell, can it be sold online? If you have a service to offer, is it promoted anywhere?


Wild Pete Web Services focuses not only on web site design but also assisting companies make their move from a traditional to an online marketing stance. Step one may be for us to take a good hard look at if a website is even a good investment for you, it's not necessarily a given! Step two would be figuring out what the best angle would be to promote your business. Step three is to actually take this information and form it into a website with useful content to inform and promote. All along the process, we'll help you figure out what you need to get your site out there. This may include a marketing or e-mail campaign, direct client contact, or search engine optimization.

What our business is concerned about, having a marketing background, is not just getting you online, but getting your message to the people who need to hear it. If you want to take the next step in your business and get a website that you are proud to have out there, let us know...we can help!
