While “Back to the Future” may have promised us hoverboards by now, it’s tough not to be pretty happy with how far technology has taken us. After all, the Fiverr community depends on a broad digital ecosystem to connect with people across the world. As consumers ourselves, it’s easy to see our growing dependence on the Internet to help find services and businesses in our communities. From bakers to accountants, most businesses that trade in physical goods and services still require a strong web presence to be found and engage with current or would-be customers. Whether it’s a strong website, engaging social media content or explainer videos that make a business’s value proposition clear, small businesses can all benefit from a strong digital channel. But what about those business that don’t have engaging websites and social media channels? According to the Score Association of the 28 million small businesses in the U.S., only 51 percent have websites and of the ones that do, 70 percent provide no call-to-action to encourage spending. Fiverr has long been the home for every digital service imaginable, and we wanted to showcase just how cost-effective and valuable it can be to completely overhaul a business’s digital footprint. That’s why we’re announcing the first Fiverr Small Biz Digital Makeover in Chicago, New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area.
