Google & Apple set a new record!

It is no surprise to Webidiotz that Google has announced total revenue was $5.7bn - up 18% compared with the same quarter the previous year. Apple, the technology giant, made a record net profit of $1.61bn (£1.15bn) and posted record revenue of $10.7bn for the final quarter.

What does this mean?

The answer is simple - more and more consumers are turning to the Internet to find better deals and also a better shopping experience. It is not any coincidence that Google & Apple are bucking a trend while many businesses in Q4 2008 suffered negative growth.

If you are a business and unsure of when you should get a website and present your business to the World Wide Web, then wake up! And take a look around you.

To survive the credit crunch and to make sure you come out the other end healthily you need to make those important steps of embracing the Internet. Your customers already have and the message is clear you need to have a website that delivers a good shopping experience and makes you stand out from the crowd.

Don’t be arrogant or foolish to think the last 10 years have been great or that I have done well till now without a website or a website that does not perform for your business that maybe your friend or family member did for you. A website is the most important tool for your business so treat it as such.

Every day millions of new Internet suffers are joining the worldwide web and millions more are buying or researching what they will buy next.

Don’t be left behind and miss out even more - don’t be one of those business owners saying I wish I had got a website, it might have been the difference that helped your business to survive.

It’s a small margin when it comes to failing and being successful and the Internet could just be that margin.
