Most Small Businesses Do Not Have a Website

| Say what?! Most small businesses still do not have a web site. |
I’m a big fan of small business owners.
I’m also a huge fan of using web sites to generate business.
So, I was disappointed to hear that 55 percent of small businesses still don’t have a web site, according to a recent survey by Discover.
Of the 55 percent of small business owners who don’t have a web site, 57 percent say their businesses will never have one; 29 percent say they will; and 14 percent are not sure.
I’m trying to think of a business that wouldn’t do well to have a website, and I’m drawing a blank.
Small, medium, or large – you need to have a website to represent your organization well and generate more revenues and profits.
If a company doesn’t have a website, it’s probably a sign that the business is not being run well or that things are going so well they don’t need new customers.
I don’t know too many business owners that are turning away business, so I’m guessing most firms that don’t have a website are dysfunctional on other fronts too, in addition to getting a failing grade at using the Web to grow their businesses.
Am I missing something here? Does anybody else find it extremely odd that so many small businesses don’t have a website?
Ken Gaebler founded Walker Sands as a full-service marketing firm back in 2002 with the goal of creating an exceptional consulting firm that could be instrumental in helping other organizations to achieve greatness.
Even if you are not planing to sell anything online, in my opinion you need a blog. Most people do except businesses to have websites with at least product/service details and contact info. Not having a website can create a negative impression.
Couldn’t agree with you more, John. Thanks for commenting on this post!
Guess every cloud has a silver lining though. Depends your perspective of the situation. I’m loving it myself and sure there’s plenty of web developers around rubbing hands together in expectation of the payday they’ll be able to reap from this.
When the alarm clock finally goes off in enough people’s heads and they realize having a website has almost become mandatory for them. The internet is a wondrous thing !!! Opened so many doors and opportunities for people from all walks of life.
The U-factor may be the rate that a window, entrance or skylight conducts non-solar heat circulation. Just like throughout golf, a lesser number is much better — a lower number designates a higher level of their time efficiency. Think about consider when comparing U-factors is whether it can be covering the total window or door or perhaps the goblet. However, in case you are getting the U-factor from the National Fenestration Rating Council, and not the manufacturer, you can be positive that the score covers the frame and spacer material, as well as the glass.
