Local RBC Small Business Accounts Manager Mikael Mantyla spoke to the Flin Flon and District Chamber of Commerce yesterday about the advantages of getting your business online. He says when he looks at what this community can do if Hudbay shuts down what is the fall back plan he sees nothing.  He says he hopes it doesn’t happen but wants to see businesses and the community thrive and it’s critical to have businesses online. He says it makes it easy for customers to find you and it provides an extension of your business that works 24-7 so it’s 24 hours seven days a week advertising for your business whether you’re doing business your website will continue to advertise your business and so it’s important for that constant recognition that’s available for businesses.

Mantyla adds it also builds relationships with customers, markets your brand the way you want it marketed and you can sell your products online so it’s one of the most important investments a business should make.
