Your Business needs to be online !

In this digital age people are flocking away from the Yellow Pages and using Search Engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc) faster than ever ! Simply put, you simply cannot afford to have your “bricks and mortar” business without a website presence.

According to online ezine Smart Company, (20 August 2009):

Forrester Research says that Australians spent $23 billion online in 2008, with estimated growth of 9% annually to $32 billion by 2012. eBay’s Deborah Sharkey quoted statistics from the Australian Payments and Clearing Association indicating that 43% of the $23 billion spent online in 2008 went overseas. It’s a worry statistic, although much of this is probably airline and other travel spending. Further statistics suggested that the percentage of total online spending that was staying within Australia was shrinking at a rapid pace, as large and small international retailers gain share.

Sharkey made the point that Australian retailers “simply can’t afford not to be online” and says they “face risk of global retailers targeting their customers with increasing success”.

“Australian retailers must evolve or be disrupted,” Sharkey said.

The trend of Australian spending going to international retailers (either directly or via fees for the platform) is not only a worry for Australian companies – it’s a worry for Australia.
