"HOW YOU TOO CAN USE THE WEB TO
BEAT THE CRUNCH & TURN CRISIS INTO OPPORTUNITY!"



The Pound is Down! Fall in bank share prices, business closures, raised prices and squeezed budgets! An economic slide into recession. But it's not all doom and gloom...at least, not for those who are successfully turning crisis into opportunity. Throughout 2008, UK online sales skyrocketed and are showing no signs of decline.

Statistics.gov.uk estimates that "In 2008, 16 million households in Great Britain (65 per cent) had internet access. This is an increase of just over 1 million households (7 per cent) over the last year". According to the Office for National Statistics, this leaves a third of homes in Britain, approximately eight million still without internet connection.

On this basis we now have greater access to online buying and huge scope for this in the future. 25million people now shop online in the UK, with the average UK shopper expected to spend £509 online this year, a 40% rise on the previous year. The rationale behind this phenomenal growth, which it seems every business person wants to be a part of, can be attributed to areas of significant expansion as told by a spokesperson at abcwebsitebuilder.com (http://www.abcwebsitebuilder.com) (a solution driven company that provides entrepreneurs with easy programs to self-build professional websites with ecommerce facilities at budget prices; in perfect keeping with the times!)


Businesses 'Step Up' their Online Presence
"Many businesses, in an effort to fight against the economic times, have stepped up their online presence with adverts and particularly ecommerce facilities etc. to benefit from the 'bargain search' online culture of shoppers. This has proved good news for big stores like John Lewis whose online turnover rose by 60% last year. An example of another business type, experiencing growth synonymous of the times for 'home entertaining' is Domino's leading delivery pizza chain, which experienced increased online orders, a sales jump of 17.6%."


Businesses Have Moved their Businesses Home!
ABCWebsitebuilder.com (http://www.abcwebsitebuilder.com) further stated that "increasing overheads can be fought, like so many are doing, by moving businesses to homes, whilst making the most of outsourcing, sub-contracting and technology to increase turnover. People are no longer making the choice of a successful business or a happy home life; home business owners can have it both!"


SME's Rush to have Online Presence!
Currently, to up sales and compete with competition, SME's with no previous websites have stormed to make their businesses accessible online. Ranging from the local dry cleaner to the corner cab firm; the gifted and experienced such as stylists, singers, dancers, photographers etc are now using the web to showcase their expertise; the work from home entrepreneurs, the home makers, unemployed, students, part/full time workers and a percentage of the casualties of the industries most feeling the effect of the credit crunch are now seeking primary or secondary incomes online. "But the real worry is unemployment, with the number of jobless set to rise to more than 3m by the end of 2010, it will certainly be a worrying and depressing year for many UK households." Telegraph.co.uk.


So not surprisingly, the home is now the UK's most popular start-up location. With 60% of businesses started from home and over 1,400 new home businesses launched each week. In the first three months of 2008, with an estimated 98,000 new start-ups formed, Barclays suggests that entrepreneurs are far from being discouraged by reports of an economic slowdown. The '60 second' commute, increased productivity, reduced overheads, time left over for family/friends and the ability to be an active community member are all attractive benefits. With stats like these, it’s no wonder that abcwebsitebuilder are paving the way to easy ‘at home’ internet technology.


Major Advances in Home Office Technology
Exponential growth of the internet, coupled with major advances in home office technology has changed the way businesses work forever. People can work pretty much work seamlessly from anywhere, allowing home based businesses, contract workers, consultants and freelancers to create a growing, self-employed work force. They can make telephone calls for pennies via the web and easily create optimised DIY professional websites at budget costs, whilst being educated on the 'mysteries' of the internet by presenting complexities in laymans 'abc' language, via programs as exemplified at www.abcwebsitebuilder.com (http://www.abcwebsitebuilder.com).


It seems that businesses/entrepreneurs are on the way to making a 'self-employed society' a reality. The internet never sleeps and with all of its benefits and the possibility of striking gold, working at home remains a great way to beating the crunch and turning crisis into opportunity.
