    360 million people were browsing the web in Dec. 2000. As of the start of 2021, there are 4.66 billion active internet users (DataReportal, 2021). That marks a 316 million year-over-year increase compared to 2020’s figures.
    *Internet World Stats, March 2011
  • Your customers are online 
    Almost every category of online advertising is growing and will continue to do so into 2015. Total online ad spend  in 2010 was $26 billion (Marketing Pilgrim, July 2011.) It was calculated that the digital advertising spending worldwide amounted to $378.16 billion in 2020, increasing and not contracting versus the 2019 figure in spite of the economic impact of the covid-19 pandemic. ( Statista Research Department, May 28, 2021)
  • Your competitors are online
    Online advertising offers plenty of advantages over more traditional advertising media, allowing business owners to deliver relevant, personalized and timely messages to their customers at a fraction of the cost.
