Don't miss out - get your business online

Posted 26 February 2008 at 12:10PM by Ian Betteridge in Doing business online

Despite the internet being a huge feature of modern life, lots of smaller businesses still don't have any kind of effective web presence. And that means they are missing out on some serious business.

Just how much are they missing out on? According to a survey by the Interactive Media in Retail Group and CapGemini, online spending in January hit a record £4.5 billion - the equivalent of £74 for every person in the UK, and a 75% year-on-year increase. Individual sectors performed differently, with electrical goods leading the way as might be expected, but with clothing not far behind.

The lesson is simple: if you sell goods, then you need a web site.

Or you could get yourself started with a BT Tradespace!
