The Bottom Line

Internet advertising is much lower cost than most traditional methods, simply because the technology makes it easier and cheaper to reach interested customers worldwide. No one owns the Internet, so there is no monopolistic supplier to pay a fee to. This is a competitive business, with relatively low start-up costs, so there is strong pressure to keep the prices low and the quality high. Check around and don't be fooled into paying exorbitant prices! The Internet is the fastest growing market in the world the number of users has doubled in size each year for the past six years! Current estimates place the number of users at over 50 million people on this information superhighway. Businesses are establishing a presence on the Internet's World Wide Web by the thousands, with more being added every day. John Patrick in IBM's Multimedia Today magazine has said, "Not being present on the World Wide Web will soon be equivalent to not having a fax machine. In the not-too-distant future, not doing business on the World Wide Web will be equivalent to not doing business at all."
