Introduction to a new advertising/consulting business geared specifically for small or start-up businesses operating a tight budgets.

dk&assoc. graphics+ opened its doors for business June 1, 2001. Since then they have been dispelling certain myths regarding Internet advertising.

One such myth is that a small business cannot afford web site development.

Fortune Magazine March 2001 stated the average price a small business (100 employees & less) pays for website development is $8500. "According to Donna Kiser of dk&assoc., this is outrageous. A small business should be able to advertise on the Internet with 3-5 pages of a clean, attractive design, including up to 20 graphics, email connection & search engine submission for under $1000." And her clients agree.

She didnt sell me what I didnt need, she listened to what I wanted and how I wanted to represent myself. Then she created me digitally," said J. Robin Amber Signs, Chicago.

Another of those myths is that a small business doesnt need a web site.

MSNbCentral released an article this summer helping businesses to decide if they needed a website. A few of the questions asked were:
Can you use more business?
Do your potential customers use the Internet?
Would you like to reach customers in other locations?
If you can answer yes to any of these questions, you need a web site!

The Scarborough Research Study found that 55% of over 2000 American adults surveyed have been on-line for 3 years or more. 23% of those view television less frequently and 20% spend less time reading magazines. Newspaper reading was down by 15% and radio listening was off by 9%.

What do these statistics do to the traditional advertising dollars? According to Dun & Bradstreet, 33% of all small businesses have web sites. Of those 33%, 80% are more likely to be in the top 10% of their market.
