Learn it or become extinct.

The internet is growing by leaps and bounds globally, yet most businesses (nine out of ten) especially offline businesses are totally ignorant or not proficient about online marketing.

How crucial is it to know about Online Marketing? Consider the following:

Companies that are providing Online Marketing Training Solutions are now filling this tremendous need.

Even companies like Microsoft was blindsided by the internet and realized that their own long term survival depends on butting heads with the likes of MSN, Yahoo, Google, and Ask.com in the online marketing arena.And it’s not just about Search either, just think about all the social networks. Who would have thought that You Tube and Myspace and other social network sites were a place for corporations to advertise on?

The Question becomes. Can a company that does not take online marketing serious survive? The answer is a clear NO. Take the Pew Study that suggests that 50% of even offline purchases are preceded by an online search, so even companies that serve a local market will be affected greatly.

The use of the internet will only grow and consumers will lead the way to take advantage of all of the unique advantages that the World Wide Web has to offer. For any business to survive it must follow their lead now.
