Small and medium-sized enterprises represent an essential part of the economy. Suffice it to say that these alone are responsible for 41% of the entire turnover. From 2016 to today, the number of SMEs with high corporate welfare has more than doubled, from 10.3% to 24.7%. But over the years, the way of doing business has radically changed: today, digital has affected all areas of entrepreneurship, from organization to productivity, passing through advertising.
No entrepreneur can afford not to take care of or underestimate his company’s presence on the web, and not surprisingly. Many new digital-related professions have sprung up. But you can rely on simple tools to boost your online business if you are not an expert. Let’s see which ones are below.
