Most businesses have a website because it is commonly expected that any reputable company has an online presence. They spend considerable amounts of money to get a website designed, constructed and hosted, but then do not expand their business online through the use of online marketing. The main reason could be because they do not understand the online world as they are not accustomed to it, do not realise its sales potential, or maybe a combination of the two amongst other reasons, thus leaving themselves behind in the race to take the top spot in Google. It isn't as hard or as expensive however as they might think and can be achieved with expertise and a small budget.

Businesses often have a misconception that just because their web development company can design a website they will also be able to successfully market the business also, which isn't often the case, as these are two different professions. In order to trade successfully online it is critical for a business to market itself for the same reasons for marketing in the brick-and-mortar marketplace. To achieve online success a business should use a specialised online marketing consultancy considering that their larger online competitors will also be doing so, and in order to make ground on these businesses then this is probably to only route to take.

Why marketing strategies for SMEs'? Big businesses have large budgets and can therefore afford wastage in order to gain success, they are able to implement all the techniques and just reap the benefit of those which work. However, small to medium size enterprises do not have the same resources and budgets as their larger competitors, therefore they need to be more judgmental and careful when placing their money into a marketing strategy. It is important for them to be able to understand closely the techniques which work and those which don't. With help from a consultant, SME's are able to identify and implement a successful marketing strategy online and in comparison to the traditional marketing methods they are able to place themselves alongside or sometimes above their larger competitors, enabling them to gain a market share which in the brick-and-mortar world may have been unreachable.

Why invest in online marketing rather than offline? Offline marketing has been around for a long time and there are not many new mediums for advertising available. Larger business have monopolised the markets which prevents competitive pricing and usually prevents small to medium size businesses from being able to afford to advertise in mediums such as magazines. Additionally if an SME had the budget to advertise in a national magazine it would probably mean they were paying to advertise to areas of the country to which they could not sell their products or services. With the power of search engines however the searches can be geographically specific so businesses only pay to reach people who are likely to buy their products. It is also more important now for a business to have a good place online as more people and businesses use online search engines as answers to their queries, the results of which they are going to use when making a decision for whom they will be spending their money.

It is evident that if the popularity of the internet continues to grow as the medium for finding information then it is critical for a business that wishes to survive in the future to invest early into securing their position in the online market. In order to achieve this they need to identify a strategy which works for them in positioning themselves in front of their existing and potential customers on the online market place. They need to bear in mind that their larger rivals would have a larger budget to spend with marketing however they are sometimes slow to react to trends and therefore many opportunities can arise online which allows the smaller businesses to take advantage, such as placing a business on Google Maps for free, allowing people to find businesses by location. This free tool gives all businesses an equal chance when competing for custom found via this route.
