Local Business soon to Suffer Without Websites

More local business are going to quickly find that their business will suffer without a website. In my post 75% of Canadian Small Businesses Have Websites, I question the validity of a survey by the CFIB (Canadian Federation of Independent Business).

The same thing holds true for our US friends. In a post by B.L. Ochman, she says:

The Kelsey Group revealed figures last night showing 70 percent of U.S. households now turn to the Internet to find local products and services. That's up 16 percent in 2004 over the previous year, putting the Internet on par with newspapers which are likely to fall behind the Internet very shortly, according to MarketingVox.

I don't know! Maybe it is time for me to start running a classified ad site again... but this time focus on a local market.
