Helping Small Business go online
Being active in the online space can provide many enabling opportunities for small businesses to engage in the digital economy. GlobalNet helps small business to capitalise on these opportunites through its coaching and mentoring services. In past twelve months we have provided this service to many small businesses in the retail and tourism sectors.
What are some of the reasons to go online?
- Visibility: With more and more consumers logging onto the Web to research products and services, business are needing to have a web presence to catch this growing audience.
- Reach: With a Web site, you are no longer limited to a customer base that is in physical proximity to your shop. Your place of business may be in Hobart, but your customers can be in China.
- Customer service: When customers can log onto your Web site and easily find the information they want, when they want it, their satisfaction with your business increases.
- Competition: A professional looking Web site can level the playing field for smaller companies trying to compete against larger businesses. It's also a way to stay in the game. If people can't find you on the web, chances are they can find your competitors.
- Credibility: When you can point customers, partners, even potential employees or investors to a web site, it tells them you are a serious business.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the great session we had on Monday.
Our sessions have been most informative and relevant. You are highly professional and yet down-to-earth in your delivery, which really helps us look at the BIG picture. It's been invaluable advise for us to work things out and address our issues, before they become real business problems.
