Free Report Tells Small Business Owners How to Recession Proof Their Businesses For Once and For All, Using the Internet.

Oxnard, California (October 26, 2010) - A firm that specializes in helping small and local businesses profit from the web is offering a free report explaining how the right internet marketing strategy can not only insulate businesses from the effects of economic downturns and recession -- but also how to literally dominate the local marketplace as well.

Small Business Internet Marketing Consulting Services (SBIMCS) is a growing firm that does far more than just basic website design or SEO services. Their report, entitled “How to Recession Proof Your Business Using the Internet” is available for instant .pdf download from the company website. The firm offers an integrated approach to internet marketing that is designed specifically to help generate “more traffic, more leads and more sales -- quickly and inexpensively.”

“Most local businesses have an online presence that’s little more than a small website, mini-site or even web page. They think that’s all they need to do -- and all they can do,” said Karl Steinmann, an internet marketing expert and President of SBIMCS. “Not only is this far from the truth, it’s far from sufficient these days. A strong presence online is now as important for a small mom and pop company as it is for a Fortune 500 firm!

“What most small and local business owners don’t realize,” he went on to say, “is that their web presence is actually the means by which they can recession-proof their businesses. It’s even how they can totally dominate the local market -- if they know what to do, and actually do it!”

Consumer behavior has changed dramatically in the last few years. People are not using the phone book much anymore, and traditional methods of advertising (such as newspaper ads and circulars) are losing their effectiveness. The shift, as with everything else, is towards the Internet. Research has shown that a very high percentage of local business begins with an online search, and the percentage continues to grow every year. It turns out that people still like to shop locally -- if they just know where to go or who to call.

“If your small business is not set up right online, you’re going to miss out on an enormous and growing amount of business. Just having a website is not nearly enough, “ the internet marketing expert explained. “You must have a fully integrated internet marketing strategy if you hope to direct local search volume to your business. If you don’t do it, you’re going to be leaving a lot of money on the table. Beyond that, one of your competitors will eventually step in and take it all for themselves.”

The company’s free report explains how the right internet marketing strategy is critical to small business survival -- and the means by which it can be recession proofed for good. By implementing the strategies discussed in the book, a small or local business can create such a strong online presence in the local marketplace that it, in effect, becomes the dominant player.

“When it comes to your internet presence, a good offense is the absolute best defense,” Steinmann added. “I strongly urge business owners who are serious about their future to get our free report. It’s critical they understand what’s happening online in local search. Because if they don’t, they could literally be out of business before this recession is finally over!”
