Should I be on the Internet?

What is the Internet --REALLY?

Am I missing out?

Today the phrase "Internet" is in every newspaper and magazine. Virtually every newscast you hear is relating something pertinent to "The Information Super Highway". In the years to come, it will revolutionize commerce.

What the steam engine was to the Industrial Revolution, what the airplane was to transportation, what the computer chip was to the Information Revolution the Internet will be to commerce in the years ahead.

Business Week claimed that the Internet "will become one of the busiest business districts the world has ever known."

If you think that the "Internet" can be conquered by placing a homepage somewhere on the Internet, you may be in for a rude awakening. The best webpage could have exactly the same results as a "first class" billboard in the middle of the Sahara desert. To be successful on the Internet you must develop for yourself and your company a cohesive marketing strategy which integrates the technology of the Internet with your current marketing strategy to accomplish your company's goals.
