Selling online can be a way to reach a whole new market that brick and mortar stores just can't reach.  Having an online store can help increase search engine optimization as well as improve credibility by selling both online and offline.  Also, customers that like to research in low pressure environments can use your online store to learn about your product in a way that suits them.  We can set up the site and train you on how to update it, or one of our people can manage your eCommerce site.  Either way, getting one started can have a high ROI and help grow your small business.

Online advertising is a great way for businesses to maximize ROI with an advertising budget.  Online advertising like google AdWords is highly customizable, conveniently track-able, and tailored to fit your budget.  Adwords is based on keywords so advertisements are targeted to searchers using keywords relevant to your business.  It is hard to find such targeted advertising elsewhere.
