Now more than ever, consumers are looking online for goods and services. Small businesses are vital to America’s economic future; the nation’s 27.5M small businesses comprise half the U.S. GDP and create two-thirds of all new jobs. Although nearly all consumers look online for local products and services, 63% of U.S. small businesses do not have a website. Many of these businesses are invisible to potential customers. Getting online gives businesses the opportunity to find new customers, increase sales and grow

4. Digital Trends
A decade ago, the
corporate website had
become the new “must-
have” communication
tool. But now, as web
users spend increasing
amounts of time on social
media, traffic to static
corporate websites appear
to be on the decline.

5. Cellular Users Trends
Black and English-speaking Hispanic1 adults are slightly
more likely than whites to own a cell phone, with 87% of
African-Americans and Hispanics owning a phone, compared
with 80% of whites. Young adults are much more likely than
older ones to own a cell phone – with the youngest most
likely to own a cell phone and the oldest adults the least
likely to own one. Those with higher levels of education and
annual household income are also more likely to possess a
cell phone. Parents, with their logistics-heavy lives, are more
likely to have a cell phone than adults without minor
children in the home (90% vs. 78%). People who live in rural
areas (72%) are also less likely to have a cell phone than
those who live in suburban (82%) or urban areas
(85%). Further, internet users and those with home
broadband are substantially more likely to use cell phones
than those who do not go online and do not have
broadband at home. Nevertheless, more than half (53%) of
adults who do not use the internet at all have a cell phone.
