The Valley East Today Consumers' Guide will
provide our readers with links to web sites that have been
developed by goods and services providers serving the
community of Valley East.
It is our goal to visit as many businesses as possible
during the summer of 2011 to compile a comprehensive listing
of web sites to help you make your shopping decisions using
the power of the internet.
MOST
HOMES HAVE INTERNET ACCESS – STATS CAN
A report by STATS CAN indicates that by the end of 2010, more
than 79% of all homes had internet access. This is significant
evidence that the use of the internet as a communication tool
has grown to tremendous proportions and is clearly going to
have an impact on our quality of life in the future.
It also means that local businesses will have to pay
particular attention to how they position themselves in the
marketplace as they try to attract new customers. Shoppers are
definitely going to be using the internet more and more to
educate themselves on the goods and services that are
available from businesses and if you don’t have a presence
on the internet, you are going to be left behind.
