While both the number of new Internet users in the US and the number of online buyers are only growing at single-digit rates, eMarketer estimates that online sales in 2005 increased a hefty 25%. Baby boomers and digitally literate young adults, coupled with the spread of broadband access, are changing the way people shop online—and how Web merchants market to them. In the near future, people will realize that the Internet is ultimately a viable source of income for their business and there is money to be made in online commerce. You will see more and more real-world businesses using the Internet as an extension to their business. Even now, almost every company has an online presence in one form or another. In the future most businesses without a Web strategy will not succeed. To gain a competitive edge over competition, consider adding to your web site capabilities which will make the difference for online shoppers such as getting shipping rates and tracking information for top US carriers: UPS, USPS, DHL and FedEx.
