Hi Everyone-PostCards from the web is a monthly newsnote geared towards
small businesses but I hope everyone can find some useful information.
I encourage your participation--please send
me sites or information that you think might be appropriate.
Travel Tips: Only 2.7 percent of online shoppers made a purchase according to a Forrester research project survey of 75 online vendors who sold $1.5 billion in goods online last year. That puts online sales on the same level of conversions as direct mailers. Read more about how to increase your conversion rate in this article "Do Your Surfers Buy?"
Best Bets:There are 407 million estimated internet users in May according to the Nielsen/NetRatings. Take a look at their statistics for some interesting information on internet usage. Nielsen tracks time spent per month, sessions per month along with a lot more.
Fun Spots: Thanks to Charlie for sending me to the Harley-Davidson
web site. I must confess it's been years since I've been on a "hog"
but this site is beautiful, well organized and really builds community
for its audience. Take a look at Harley-Davidson.com
Favorite Spots: If you want to build a very low cost web site, try Ken Evoy's Site Builder. The package includes domain name purchase, hosting, search engine optimization. The best yet-it's fully refundable if you are not satisfied. Find out more..
Have
a great August!
