method will assist not just large corporations, but also small enterprises that cannot
afford to advertise their goods. Simply by constructing a website at a little cost, the
business will expand in terms of sales and the company's image will improve.

conduct online transactions. If significant economic growth takes place in the next 10
years, these estimates may even double or triple (Toral, 2004)

most cost-effective form of promotion when compared to certain sponsored ads, and it
is simple to execute for even tiny firms.
