Hi,thanks for replying!
It isn't just funny and true, but it is just beginning. We do not need specific statistics to prove what we have all seen: the cost reducing effect of virtual storefronts as opposed to actual brick and mortar operations is enormous; while many people are allready using the internet, many more are still going to come online in the next decade A basic or sketchy looking web presence is quickly becomming a large business liability!
The potential of a global market for companies of any scale is superb, but not sustainable without a clear marketing and design vision for your company.
To continue to grow as an online company, your store will inevitably need to be upgraded. Remember, a $10,000 website is allot cheaper than a brick and mortar store.
Good luck everybody, and thank you for reading!
