Small Businesses Shunning E-Commerce
from the back-to-brochureware dept
Small businesses are apparently more likely to use the internet for marketing than for selling these days. That sounds like the internet of four years ago. I think it's good that perhaps some companies are realizing that not everything needs to be sold over the internet. However, I'm wondering if some of this is just an excessive negative reaction to the dot com fallout.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
