It's a pretty well-known fact that many offline small businesses have yet to make the leap to online marketing. But why is it that so many small businesses are choosing to operate the “old-fashioned” way, with little recognition of the Internet as a channel or a source of leads?

Great piece, Adam. I really liked what you said at the end...

"In short, Internet marketing is itself not a tool to increase leads, sales, or brand awareness. It’s a medium of communication, in the language consumers are already speaking, and small business owners need to be aware of this so that they don’t get left out of the conversation."

This is so true and more SMB owners need to come to this realization. Thanks for sharing your insights with us.

Thanks Ti,

And yeah SMB need to learn this, but I think it's the responsibility of those who *do* get it, to give it over in a way that business owners can understand.
