- Whether it is for buying or selling, a "critical mass" of Canadian companies, and customers, are turning to the Internet to do business, according to the latest numbers from Statistics Canada.Online sales recorded their fifth straight year of double-digit growth in 2006, showed the Survey of Electronic Commerce and Technology, and were worth a staggering $49.9 billion. Click here to read the paper on these significant 2006 Canadian Numbers. What I was intrigued with was:
Of the nearly $50-billion worth of business done online last year, only a small amount of the sales were from a company to an individual consumer. The majority--about 68 per cent -- were business-to-business sales between private firms.
The internet is the wrapper around the Global Economy. It is not enough to just have a website. You need to have a website that meets the needs of your existing customers and those businesses who will become your customer because they can find your website and when they do they have their needs met. To do this properly you need an expert in online marketing and website design. Who is performing this task for your business? Do you have an expert converting visitors to your website into customers?
