The Internet: The New Business Import Strategy

Business Import is a tried and true economic development strategy - entice companies to move to your town and benefit from the business that they bring with them.

Now the Internet offers a new twist - to allow existing local businesses to grow by tapping into regional and national marketplaces that they could not previously afford to enter.

Web EG provides web technology training for local economic development organizations.

We train your business outreach staffs so that they can provide local businesses with the same first-level expertise on web and search engine marketing that they routinely provide in other areas such as business loans, entrepreneurial skills, employee training, etc.

The outcome? More of your local businesses will obtain the knowledge and skills they need to compete more effectively in the online marketplace.

And your town can "import" more business without importing more businesses.
