A couple of days ago I was going to order a pizza. My husband and I don't order often because he really does not care for pizza. So after the debate I decided to go online to find pizza places in our area and any specials going on. Even though there are about 10 pizza joints in our small town only 2 had websites. One of them was a casual sit down Italian restaurant and the other was Domino's. Domino's was the only to allow online ordering and presented all specials and menu options. It was easy and convenient. Only problem was that I don't really care for Domino's pizza. But because this was my only online option I ordered it.
A few days before this I needed to find a dentist so I went online. Now I have seen the dentist offices in the area so I know there are at least 4 but none had a website and only 1 had anything come up.
We are from a small town so we are talking small local businesses but I see this as a true opportunity. The small businesses need to be online!!! I understand that they don't have much for budgets for this type of thing but think of all the lost sales they are missing out on from not being online.
They could at least post a free myspace or facebook page and use Google Adwords to draw users.
My point if you are interested in Internet Marketing her is a good place to start. Small businesses are vital to our futures and this could be a great way to help save them and our economy!
