The gist of it is ecommerce has low overhead and (in my case) digital assets. A downturn is a good time to bulk up for the upturn; my work pre-bust was never fully ramped up yet anyway... . At any given time, most businesses need to diversify their revenue streams, so this downturn forces the issue. So, my plan is to work on the short term revenue (mostly off-line), and keep the long range ecommerce plan. Yep, been thinking a lot about this.

E-Commerce has been and will continue to be a boon for those entrepreneurs and organizations that get on board - especially in these hard times. While e-commerce as a whole is definitely recession-proof, all e-commerce solutions may not be. It's almost too easy for the average mom-and-pop shop to get online and start selling. It's also really easy for the average mom-and-pop shop to sink a couple thousand into a web presence and get zero results. Luckily, these last few years have been really interesting for web analytics and web marketing. By making a site standards-compliant and tweaking the content and layout (based on quantitative data from good web analytics) one can see some amazing results. We've heard of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Tail" rel="nofollow">the long tail</a>, so the opportunity is there (<a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20026873.300-online-shopping-and-the-harry-potter-effect.html?full=true" rel="nofollow">hopefully</a>). With a little help from the local web firm, mom and pop can make the best of this opportunity. - bryce Good post, Dan.
