A few
statistics I learned at last week’s Google seminar on small business:
·
In
2011, 68% of Arkansans have high-speed internet access in their home or
workplace.
·
85%
of the world has Internet access
·
80%
of the world has electricity, as a comparison
·
50.4%
of cell phone users use a smartphone
·
More than 6 out of 10 (61 percent) of
smartphone owners who use their devices to shop have done so while shopping at
the store, and more than half (52 percent) reach for their phones on the way to
the store
·
Smartphones currently influence 5.1 percent
of annual retail store sales, translating into $159 billion
in forecasted sales for 2012. This will
grow to 19% by 2016.
·
50% of all websites are viewed on a mobile
device (tablets & phones) [does your website have sniffer technology &
a mobile version?]
·
These numbers are growing exponentially

Downtown Master Plan Presented August 28
Let’s
Get Local in Eureka Springs
“Starting
Thursday, August 16th visitors and locals can pick up stickers that are their
ticket into the fun at the Farmers Market, Chamber of Commerce and
participating lodging. The events all start at Basin Spring Park, in the heart
of downtown Eureka Springs, for the next 6 weeks from 5-7PM. Each week a
different aspect of shopping, playing and dining will be showcased in the park
and the participating stores downtown. Local vendors will have booths and
prizes in the park, live music, and maps of where the deals for real locals and
“Local’s for a Day” are that night…..”
