More than one-third of US internet users said they first find out about small businesses when researching online, according to a survey. Walking into a local store, meanwhile, was the least likely path to discovery.
Vistaprint Digital Services, owned by Cimpress, polled 2,000 US internet users on the impact of an online presence for small businesses during March and April 2016.
According to the results, 36.7% of respondents said they primarily first find out about small businesses through online research, closely followed by word-of-mouth (35%). Meanwhile, only 8.4% said they usually found out about such firms by walking into the store.
The survey also tracked how often these internet users research a local business online before showing up at its door. Of those polled, 36.4% said they often check out the store online prior to visiting, compared to 7.2%, who said they don’t.
Pebalap Repsol Honda, Marc Marquez, memprediksi Yamaha bakal mendominasi balapan MotoGP Spanyol di Sirkuit Jerez, Minggu (7/5/2017). Namun, Si Bayi Alien tak mau menyerah sebelum berjuang dan mengaku siap berduel dengan para pebalap Tim Garpu Tala.
Yamaha juga mencatat hasil impresif di Jerez pada musim lalu. Rossi dan mantan rekan setimnya yang saat ini memperkuat Ducati, Jorge Lorenzo, start dan finis di posisi 1-2.
Meski demikian, Marquez tak gentar dengan kekuatan Yamaha. Apalagi pebalap asal Spanyol itu mampu mencuri kemenangan pada balapan sebelumnya di Austin dan akan tampil di kandang sendiri.
"Lihat saja bagaimana hasilnya pada akhir pekan ini. Tentu saya akan berusaha tampil di level tertinggi dan mencoba bertarung untuk meraih kemenangan," ujar Marc Marquez.
