  • Increased adoption of multi-channel distribution models – Regardless of wherever else you sell, you need to be selling online. Consumers and even brick and mortar retailers have come to expect it and accept it. Marketers are collectively seeking new, profitable revenue streams for their goods and services, and online is the most efficient option with the lowest barriers to entry.
  • Continued migration of allocated marketing dollars into online from traditional media - The shift will accelerate, with money flowing into online promotion from traditional vehicles such as television, radio and print. It’s hard to compete with efficiency, flexibility, customization and interactivity.
  • Continued evolution of social media - Social media is all about conversation and engagement. Get comfortable with this new technology and get past the misconceptions. Less than 5% of Twitter users are teens and twenty-somethings. And the fastest growing group on Facebook is Women 55+. Your customer is online. Are you?
  • Changing role of the Web site – It’s not just an online brochure anymore. Your site should be a dynamic and interactive extension of your brand that captivates, motivates and facilitates customer loyalty. Keep content fresh. Facilitate social networking. Encourage dialogue. Measure results.
