As
a business owner or manager you CANNOT ignore the FACTS! You
must plan on your business competing in the Internet arena.
The Silverton
mall, located on the Internet, faces the same challenges
the mall across town does when it comes to attracting customers
to it's 70 or more stores. Whether you are located in a mall
across town, or in a small shop in small town U.S.A. - good marketing
techniques and ad campaigns are vital to the success of your
business. And now you can compete with nationally known retail
stores such as Wal-Mart, L.L. Bean, J.C. Penny's, the Factory
Outlets on the same playing field - The Internet.
The Internet is the fastest
growing communications medium in the planet's history growing
5 times faster than Television and 10 times faster than Radio.
It is estimated that
there are currently 70 million people online and will grow to
over 300 million in the next few years. More e-mails are sent
everyday than all the post offices in the world combined.
As a business owner or
manager you CANNOT ignore the FACTS! You must plan on your business
competing in the Internet arena.
One of our industry leaders
was recently quoted as saying "by the year 2000 there will
be 2 types of businesses. Those with Internet presence and those
that are out of business." That may seem a little
bit far fetched but if you look around you can see it happening.
Watch TV and see how
many web site addresses are advertised. All major companies have
sites or are in the process. Currently 1 million new subscribers
are coming online every 30 days.
Why is there so much
excitement? Convenience! People can shop from their home and
make decisions without sales people trying to hammer them for
a decision. They don't have to fight the traffic or wait in long
lines or worry about being robbed or car jacked.
This is a REALITY in
the world today. It is safer to shop from home. It is safer using
your credit card or check online, because of the secure servers
used online, than presenting your card or check in person.
Remember in the 70's
when shopping malls became such a boom, it was because of convenience!
You Could shop at 70, 80, 100 stores at the same location. Now,
through the Silverton mall consumers can shop at 100's
of businesses at the same location from the convenience of their
SAFE home.
These are not just businesses
in other cities, provinces, states or countries, but THE
LOCAL BUSINESSES in their home town. THAT"S RIGHT the Internet
has finally came to the home town in a BIG way!
As a Local business you
want new CUSTOMERS or you want to keep the ones you have
worked hard to get. The only way you can do this is by advertising
and giving good service.
Since the Internet is
not going away but growing faster than anything we have ever
seen, you need to consider how it could effect your business.
If millions of people
are flocking to the Internet every month you must realize some
of these people are going to be customers you may already have.
Would it be more positive
or not, for your business to be represented properly on the Internet?
Showing you are a business that understands current trends and
the consumers needs.
Many of these people
will be potential new customers for you. Now, you can present
your business in a way that is very impressive.
How about an Audio presentation?
You can have your own Radio style commercial working for you
24 hours per day at a fraction of the cost of normal Radio advertising.
You can broadcast it right on the local web pages of local consumers.
How about a Video presentation.
You can have your own TV style commercial working for you 24
hours per day and through the Silverton mall it will be
shown right on the web pages for local consumers.
Don't need all that?
You just need the numbers? How about offering coupons that can
be printed right off your web page. No more direct mailing, printing
costs, newspaper flyers. The Internet is the least expensive
way to advertise EVER!
