The latest Ofcom survey into people's media habits is out and there are no surprises. Britons are consuming more media than ever before, particularly by mobile phone and laptop. The young are leading the charge, with 16 to 24 year olds abandoning the traditional TV and radio in favour of new media.
Whilst TV and radio are still the most popular media for the over 55s, they are increasingly more tech-savvy with an increase in broadband connectivity for this age group and a sizeable proportion utilising email every day.
As the general public embrace the advancing technology in larger and larger numbers ask yourself a quick question - is your business making the most of it to get the best out of your internal comunications and to promote your business to the world?
The likely answer for many small businesses is NO. Either due to a lack of knowledge, or the perception of the costs involved, many businesses are sticking with what they've got currently until it finally breaks down.
There are still businesses out there who don't have any online presence. A business website may not be absolutely essential for some sectors but for the vast majority of businesses a website is very important and likely to become more so as people of all ages become more reliant upon the internet.
