There is a great story about the small business entrepreneur coming out of this recession. There are people losing steady corporate jobs and finding themselves going after a long time dream. They now have the time and the job market is forcing them to. Sure the steady paycheck, benefits, and everything else that goes with someone having you on their payroll is great - but it’s also keeps you from going for it. Well at least it does for most.
I have had more demand for my services in the last 4 months then I can remember and I believe this is the first real sign of the economy moving forward. Small businesses, entrepreneurs, and risk takers taking new ideas and old businesses online to capture sales. It is great to see and helps me keep perspective when the media reports the doom and gloom.
If you have been waiting to get online with an ecommerce setup, the time is now. Many larger companies have pulled back their marketing and advertising budgets in cost cutting measures and the potential to make a splash with less dollars is there. Less competition can mean entering a market segment with less cost and SEO effort.
Don’t wait for the media to report that consumers are spending again - instead be there when they do.
