Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/13/2015 -- In2town Press Release has said more small business owners need to take advantage of the tools available to market their products and services online. The popular Fiverr press release writing and distribution service, which is available from as little as five dollars, found that millions of small business owners ignore the Internet as a marketing tool.

Even though, the Internet is the biggest shop window in the world, millions of small business owners are failing to promote their products and services, says a spokesman for In2town. That means millions of businesses are missing out on the revenue that can be made online and which would boost their profits and secure their future.

The In2town media group recently decided to do a survey with one hundred small business owners in the UK and one hundred small business owners in the USA. They decided to launch the survey to find out why small business owners were ignoring such a medium that would increase their sales.

The results were shocking.

According to the survey, 70 percent believed online marketing was expensive while 25 percent thought all they needed to increase sales was a website. The survey also found that 5 percent had the lack of knowledge with reference how online marketing would help their business.

The results show that the small business community need to be educated in how important online marketing is, as well as the cost-effective ways they can promote themselves online to increase profit.

A spokesman for In2town Media said: "The survey has shown small businesses are worried how expensive online marketing can be. In the old days they were right, online marketing was expensive, but now it has become much more affordable."

Chantelle Ellis from In2town explained there are many cost-effective ways for a business to promote their products and services online.

These methods include:

1. Press Release writing. Press releases have now become an important tool for online marketing. All the big organizations use press releases to promote their products and services. Unlike the old days, where a press release was used to gain the attention of the media, in the modern world they are now used to attract potential customers online. A press release can now be written for as little as five dollars

2. Set up a Hubpage. Hubpages allows a business to show their knowledge and experience, giving them the opportunity to improve their brand. By improving a brand, and it's visibility, that brand becomes more trusted, and customers are more likely to buy from a trusted company they know rather than a company they have never heard of.

3. Twitter. Twitter has become an important marketing tool. By using Twitter, a small business can increase their brand as well as letting people know about any discounts they have, or new products they have coming out.

4. Facebook. Facebook is another great tool to use for online marketing. The popular social network provides low-cost advertising, and small business owners can use their accounts to send promotional messages out to their followers.

With so many cost-effective ways to promote a small business online, it is important the Internet is not ignored said Chantelle Ellis.
