Yesterday I posted on another forum board that I’m tired of the big guys getting bailed out.

How about if they just gave each American/Canadian 1,000,000 instead?

It would stimulate the economy like nobody’s business!

I guess my post was lost in a sea of tweets…

Anyway that post got me to thinking about how many of my clients are small business owners and they, like every other American/Canadians are having some difficulties these days.

In fact, I haven’t been blogging/posting much as of late because I’ve been out there selling much more than I usually do.

Some consider their advertising to be the number one vehicle and are finding their company resources too low to continue on.

Others see the effects of their website being open 24/7 and want to improve upon conversion by updating their sites.

It is true, your website is one of your most valuable resources.

People are doing research online and at home before venturing out to purchase.

With a website, your presence is open and available even when your business is closed for the day.

According to our analytics, over the past year 41% of our website visits are occurring after our regular business hours. We are open 8:00 – 6:00 pm PST and quite a large amount of traffic is coming when we aren’t open for business.

What does this information tell us?

People are shopping on their time – not ours.

Now Arise can be classified (based on number of employees) as a small business with a unique and groundbreaking product. Wouldn't you rather have your bailout taxes going to a small company which hasn't or won't let someone off?

According to employment data, small businesses employ more than half of America's workforce and contribute upto 70% of the US gross domestic product.

Furthermore if you look at the past 3 recessions, small caps have the fastest recovery rate as they offer minimal risk to the downside in contrast to lets say a stock like google.

What do you think?
