Numero Uno Web Solutions (NumeroUnoWeb.com), a fast-growing Internet marketing firm that caters to small- and mid-sized business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) companies, is declaring that Canadian businesses need to have a dedicated web site; especially in light of data that show B2C e-commerce sales are projected to climb 92% between 2013 and 2017.“With more than 80% of the Canadian population online, business owners may want to reconsider the value of a web site,” says Dave Wheeler, president and general manager of Numero Uno Web Solutions. “Last year, e-commerce sales were up 17% year-over-year at $21.61 billion. And in 2017, e-commerce sales are projected to hit more than $41.0 billion; that’s a 92% increase over 2013.” (Source: “B2C e-commerce sales in Canada from 2012 to 2017,” Statista.com, July 2014; www.statista.com/statistics/241392/forecast-of-b2c-e-commerce-sales-in-canada/.)
Unfortunately, Canadian businesses are not prepared to handle the expected influx of online sales over the coming years. Less than half of Canadian small businesses (46%) have a dedicated web site and just 48% of those businesses say they sell their products and services online. Among those who do have a dedicated web site, 38% reported that at least a quarter of their total revenues come from online sales. (Source: “The Internet remains uncharted territory for Canadian businesses: RBC poll,” RBC web site, February 27, 2013; www.rbc.com/newsroom/news/2013/20130227-smallbus-tech.html.)
Wheeler explains that it can be challenging for Canadian businesses to stay on top of new technologies and find the time to run a dedicated corporate web site. However, having a dedicated business web site and online marketing strategy is essential for brands looking to increase their market share and grow profitability.
“One of the best reasons for having a corporate web site is that it provides access to potential customers 24/7. This is increasingly important when considering that almost 28% of Canadians say they prefer to shop online rather than go to a mall,” he adds. “One of the best ways to increase online traffic and make businesses more visible and discoverable on search engines like Google is with a strategic online marketing campaign.”
“Businesses looking to develop an online marketing strategy or brands looking to enhance their current campaign need to hire an Internet marketing firm with a proven history of making web sites discoverable online, attracting qualified traffic, and turning visitors into repeat customers,” Wheeler concludes.
