• 5 value levers “Internet advantage” of High-Web use SMEs:
• Geographic Expansion - The Internet creates a borderless world for many SMEs, enabling them to compete with much larger, multinational companies by accessing markets that were previously out of reach.
• Enhanced Marketing - Online marketing delivers expanded reach and measurable returns. It also yields valuable data about consumers and their preferences, enabling expressly targeted advertising and offers.
• Improved Customer Interactions – Social media make it possible for companies to engage in real-time dialog with customers not only to boost sales but also to build loyalty and even to help create, refine, and enhance products and services.
• Leveraging the Cloud - SMEs can access sophisticated, open cloud-based, tools to enhance a wide range of functions, including customer relationship management, information management, and customer payments. As a result, these companies can grow quickly without requiring large investments in infrastructure.
• Easier and Quicker Staff Recruitment - The recruiting options available today are more powerful and less expensive than ever before, and they enable SMEs to tap a global talent market
