1&1 Releases Internet Report |
1&1 Internet, Inc., a web hosting and domain registration company today released a survey stating that small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are increasingly harnessing the power of the Internet and believe their Web sites positively impact sales, communication, marketing and cost efficiency.
The survey, which canvassed some 50,000 1&1 SMB customers in the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom, sought to learn firsthand from SMBs the impact that having a web site has had on their business, particularly in the first 12 months after going online. 1&1 conducted the survey by emailing its SMB customers and asking them to voluntarily complete an anonymous online feedback form consisting of nine questions. The results were analyzed by Prof. Dr. Edgar Einemann of Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences in Bremerhaven, Germany, in a detailed report called International Comparison of the Economic Effects Resulting from the Implementation of Professional Webhosting Products.
“The surprising aspect of the findings, is the uniformity of the results. There is no significant difference in the responses between Germany, the UK and the US, and within these countries, hardly any differentiation between the individual industry sectors or regions," Dr. Einemann said.
“The survey findings indicate that, more than ever, the vast potential of the Internet is definitely within reach for businesses with anywhere from two or three to 100 employees, and they are reaping the rewards of the Internet," said Andreas Gauger, 1&1 Chairman of the Board.
