Small business Internet & blog marketing on rise : Hewlett-Packard survey

Should come as no surprise but here’s another survey regarding the growth in Internet marketing as reported by this mornings Indianapolis Star.

A Hewlett-Packard 2005 Small Business Survey (up to 99 employees) findings include:

• 81 percent plan to increase tech spending on areas such as company Web sites, online services and blogs.
• 10 percent of owners already have blogs in their marketing plans.

Good news for LexBlog’s strategy of helping law firms outsource Internet marketing. The survey reports 34 percent of small businesses have outsourced some of their services including accounting, legal and manufacturing, advertising and tech support.
