As a small business ourselves, Either/Or Media relishes in helping other fellow small business owners thrive and flourish, especially in today’s economy.  The common misconception is that too often we see small businesses tanking and going under as early as in their first year of launching.  However, the truth is that small businesses are on the rise! The Small Business Success Index attests that in the year 2010, 38% of small businesses actually jumped in sales compared to the previous year, and even the government continually claims that small businesses are essential to helping us recover from this economic recession. So what sets apart the succeeding small businesses from the failing ones?

At Either/Or Media, we always preach that having a strong website and well-written, original web copy is the key to garnering more attention and sales for a business.  It is true that small businesses will most likely have more competition than larger scale businesses, but having an up-to-date website is enough leverage to raise a small business to the same level as a larger company.  The problem is that not all small businesses even have websites! The Small Business Research Library states that only around 56% of small businesses have websites; that’s only a little more than half the businesses out there! In today’s technological age, most people turn to the Internet as their first resource, so for a small business not to have a website seriously endangers its chances of getting any attention at all.  “The fact that more small businesses do not have a strong online presence is surprising,” says the Small Business Research Library—and we agree!

Of course, just having a website up is not sufficient enough to drive your business to skyrocketing sales.  At Either/Or Media, we encourage all businesses to constantly populate their websites with new and fresh content—from blogs, eBooks, events, reviews, case studies to just about any other useful information, small businesses need to post up these materials in order to improve their search engine ranking and chances of exposure to new and potential customers. Not only that, but this kind of material also helps businesses to actively demonstrate their knowledge and expertise to the world.
