there is no better way of advertising your company than having a website. On a cost per sales basis, more businesses are discovering that they can use the Internet as an advertising medium for less than 5% of the traditional costs. In a small business Internet survey, 56% of small businesses on-line today regard the Internet as "essential" to the success of their business. 60% of those who accept orders on their web sites report sales gains due to their on-line presence amounting to about 23% of total sales.As everyone knows by now, video is very exciting. I think in the next few years people will discover that video is appropriate for certain areas of the consumer market, right now it seems like everyone wants to use video for everything. I think the small business arena will benefit the most from video which is pretty much the thesis behind www.adwido.com
