75% of Canadian Small Businesses Have Websites
Michael Ryval, Globe and Mail, quoted Ted Mallett, chief economist at the Toronto-based Canadian Federation of Independent Business that almost 75 per cent of all small Canadian businesses have websites. He goes on to say:
And that means, if you're not there, potential clients will find and hire the competition that is.
I don't know what they base this estimation on. It doesn't give any indication of how this figure was arrived at or what area and percent of businesses was surveyed.
Ms. Duncan, who owns www.ottawaweb.ca, a directory of links to services in the Ottawa was quoted as saying:
"Instead of looking through the Yellow Pages, a lot of people search for information on-line. It's faster, easier and there's more information."
I agree that all small businesses should have websites. However, from doing online searches for local small businesses in this area, I would have to say that it is easier to use the Yellow Pages. Only a small percentage of the Truro and Area businesses have websites.
