"Use the internet to increase sales during the downturn", says the Federation of Small Businesses

Nearly half of small businesses that use the internet to advertise their firm increase turnover by one fifth, according to new figures released by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB).

The FSB’s biennial survey of 8,700 members found that 43 per cent of respondents improved their sales after linking to suppliers and using their website to advertise their firm, showing the ever-increasing value of the internet to business transactions, particularly during an economic downturn.

The survey also revealed that the number of small businesses who have their own website has leapt by a quarter to around 70 per cent since the last survey.

John Walker, FSB National Policy Chairman, said:

“The number of small businesses who have their own website has grown over the past two years, which indicates that small firms are becoming increasingly internet-savvy. Despite the onset of an economic downturn, all small firms should look to the internet to maximise their sales and increase efficiency.”

NEW EU REGULATIONS - UK companies could be fined if they fail to obey a new European law on websites and emails, which came into force this year. Under the new law every company now needs to list its company registration number, its place of registration and registered office address on both its website and in emails. This info is already required on business letters, but the new regulations extend it to websites, order forms and electronic documents, including email. Our current clients should contact us for free advice and assistance if appropriate.
