Why Should I have a website?
72% of Americans were online at least once a day, and 71% of online Americans have bought a product via the web.
The heart of the web’s success is in connecting people with information, whether that be a student looking for the nearest pizza parlor, or a local shoe store displaying its spring collection to online shoppers. According to the Pew Internet & American Life Project, in 2008, 72% of Americans were online at least once a day, and 71% of online Americans have bought a product via the web. The Internet provides a growing and increasingly vital opportunity for businesses to reach new and existing customers with minimal costs. If your customers are online, then the best way to connect with them is to join them there!
