The Internet and The Credit Crunch
At SpiralMedia, we’re all too aware of the economic gloom that we’re currently seeing worldwide. However, the Internet is one of few industries that is expected to escape unscathed. Why is this?
Well, consumers pay a fixed monthly fee for their broadband connections. Broadband is increasingly seen as a commodity that consumers can go without. It’s far cheaper to go online and socialise on Facebook, hunt for bargains on Ebay or follow your favourite sports team than it is to renew your Sky subscription, go out for a meal or head to the cinema.
Well placed businesses can capitalize on this. Consumers will spend more time and pay greater interest to websites and will spend longer hunting around for the best deal. People already know you can usually get a better deal online and with less money to spend, it is obvious consumers will rely on the Internet more and more for their purchases. We’re now in 2008 and gone are the days where consumer confidence is not high enough to purchase online.
