Do you want to bring a new product or service to market? The Internet is one of the most important technological breakthroughs of the 20th century. The world wide web has almost entirely replaced yellow pages and other advertising platforms. Making the presence of any small business known through a website will go very far with gaining business. Building a business website can also be less expensive than other methods of advertising.
The economy has been good to many small businesses this past year. Many are ramping up for expansion through the launch of a new product or service. This can be an ideal way to grow your business if you do it strategically.
The e-commerce economy is thriving. Despite continuing weakness in the U.S. economy, retail e-commerce sales continued their strong march through the second quarter. U.S. e-commerce sales from April through June reached $47.5 billion, up 17.5% from $40.42 billion a year earlier, according to seasonally adjusted estimates released last month by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
E-commerce accounted for approximately 4.6% of total retail sales excluding food service during the second quarter, its highest level on record, the Commerce Department says. Total adjusted retail sales excluding food service during the second quarter reached $1.04 trillion, according to the report. E-commerce accounted for 4.5% of total retail sales during the first quarter of 2011, and 4.2% during the second quarter of 2010, the Commerce Department says.
Have a marvelous day with us!
