« on: July 02, 2016, 11:33:14 AM »
The number of internet users is increasing phenomenally in recent years. But many small businesses in Bangladesh do not notice this phenomenon or consider taking advantage of this trend.
Little do they know that an online presence can help take their business to the next level.
A rise in the number of internet users in Bangladesh
According to data from Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission, the number of internet users almost doubled in the last two years; it shot up from 30.48 million in 2013 to 58.31 million in February 2016. Business houses with a web presence have the ability to reach out to these people by adopting a different marketing strategy.
Ensuring an online presence
Nowadays, when someone wants to buy a product, they just Google it. They can find out where it is available -- different brands, the price, and quality to get the best deal. When a business entity is not present online, its products -- no matter how great in quality -- go unnoticed by online users.
